Overview

Build bridges, share knowledge, and embrace cultural exchange through the Fulbright Scholar Program!

The Fulbright Scholar Awards offer U.S. scholars, artists, and professionals from diverse fields the exciting opportunity to conduct research and/or teach in Jordan.

Through this prestigious exchange program, awardees not only advance their own academic or professional goals but also serve as cultural ambassadors, immersing themselves in Jordanian culture while representing U.S. values and traditions. Fulbright Scholars are encouraged to share their expertise through mentorship, presentations, and contributions to innovative research, while building valuable academic and professional networks.

Diversity

The Bi-national Fulbright Commission in Jordan strives to ensure that its efforts reflect the diversity of both, Jordanian and American societies.  The Commission seeks and encourages the involvement of people from traditionally underrepresented audiences in all its scholarships, grants, programs and other higher educational exchange activities and its workforce and workplace.  Opportunities are open to people regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, geographic location, socio-economic status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. The Commission is committed to fairness, equity and inclusion.
