The Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowships are designed to provide Indian faculty, researchers, and professionals with the opportunity to teach, conduct research, or engage in a combination of both research and teaching at U.S. institutions. Depending on the specific host institution, grantees may contribute to the academic environment by developing curriculum, as well as conducting workshops and seminars. These fellowships are for four to nine months. We encourage proposals that are futuristic, innovative and technology focused.
Application Deadline: July 1, 2026, 23:59:59 hrs (IST)
IMPORTANT:
- You can apply for only ONE Fulbright-Nehru fellowship category during a competition cycle.
- Plagiarism in the application will lead to disqualification.
- Some U.S. universities and colleges have developed and published policies on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on applications for admission or affiliation with their institution. Some institutions may scan applications for the use of language produced by GenAI. While individual institutional policies range widely and policy responses from U.S. universities will continue to evolve, copying language/content produced by GenAI directly into your application may negatively impact admission or affiliation decisions.
- Incomplete applications will be rejected.
- Extensions and transfer of visa sponsorship will not be permitted.
