The Binational Fulbright Commission in Egypt is pleased to announce the opening of the competition for the Fulbright Scholar-In-Residence (SIR) Program to send scholars and professionals to universities in the United States. Scholars in Residence typically spend three to ten months teaching and consulting in area studies programs, in interdisciplinary programs that focus on global issues, or in courses where participation of a foreign scholar can provide a cross-cultural or international perspective.
