INTRODUCTION Each year, the Commission for Educational Exchange between the United States of America, Belgium and Luxembourg offers Fulbright awards for study, teaching or research in the United States. The awards - approximately fifty - vary from round-trip travel to grants covering all expenses for an academic year. Only students, teachers, research scholars and lecturers who are citizens of Belgium are eligible for these grants and awards. Applications from citizens of other EU Member States are accepted for the Fulbright-Schuman program (US-EU affairs) only. In awarding the grants, the Commission’s Board of Directors gives priority to candidates who are pursuing projects that will be of lasting benefit to the grantee and his or her country. The candidates must: demonstrate academic excellence; be individually interviewed in English; be apt to benefit from the academic opportunity offered to them; have ambassadorial qualities; and be good representatives of their own country while they are in the United States. Since one of the fundamental purposes of the Fulbright exchange program is to increase understanding between the peoples of the countries involved, the Board of Directors gives preference to candidates who have had no significant opportunity to live in the United States. Grantees are expected to return to their own country upon completion of the project for which the award was made. GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Departures normally take place between August 1 and March 31. Special authorization

must be sought in order to leave at another time of the year. 2. Recipients of Commission awards must travel on US Government-sponsored "Exchange

Visitor" visas. They may not travel on any other visa type. Please note that anyone admitted as an Exchange Visitor to the United States must return to his or her home country for two years before returning to the United States as a permanent resident, temporary worker, trainee or intra-company transferee.

3. Candidates to study must have completed a bachelor’s degree at a recognized

institution, with outstanding academic results. 4. Candidates in education (i.e. teachers or administrators) must have had 3 years

professional experience at the time of application. 5. Candidates in research must hold a European doctorate or its equivalent at the time of

their departure. 6. Candidates in medicine must have received the degree of Doctor in Medicine before

leaving for the United States and must intend to do research. Awards are not available for clinical training.

7. Each year the Commission offers approximately 10 grants to lecturers and researchers, 20 to graduate students, and 2 to secondary school teachers. Student awards are normally for a minimum period of one academic year. However, applicants for pre-doctoral research for a minimum period of 6 months will also be considered. Research and lecturing awards are for a minimum period of 3 months in no more than 2 different institutions. Secondary school teachers may participate in special summer programs.

8. The value of awards is indicated below. Candidates must be able to cover all other

expenses. 9. Applications should be made while candidates are in correspondence with specific

institutions concerning affiliation and financial support. No awards can be confirmed until candidates have submitted written evidence that they will possess adequate funds to carry out their plans in the United States.

Candidates should submit a Preliminary Application (http://www.fulbright.be/fulbright-
