Fulbright Specialist Professor Danny Warshay delivering his workshop on “Teaching and Practicing Entrepreneurship” at The British College

The Fulbright Specialist Program empowers host institutions to design projects that address their unique priorities while maintaining a focus on education or training. Given the short-term nature of the exchange, proposed projects should have well-defined, achievable objectives that can be completed during the Specialist’s visit.

Specialists have previously supported host institutions through activities such as:

  • Delivering seminars or workshops
  • Consulting on faculty or workforce development
  • Developing academic or training curricula and materials
  • Lecturing at the graduate or undergraduate level
  • Conducting needs assessments or program evaluations

Personal research projects, including clinical medical research or initiatives involving patient contact, are not eligible for funding under the Fulbright Specialist Program.

Project Duration: Each project must be a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 42 days, including travel days and weekends.

Project Timeline: The time for approval of project from the date of submission of application may take up to 9 weeks. Project implementation dates depend on the application cycle. Please see the note mentioned in the call.

Location: Projects are limited to one country, and all activities must take place in Nepal.

Specialist Allocation: Each project is restricted to one Fulbright Specialist grantee.

Multi-Visit Projects

If a host institution would benefit from having a Fulbright Specialist make multiple visits, a Multi-Visit project may be proposed. However, Multi-Visit projects are rare and require a strong justification demonstrating how multiple visits would enhance project outcomes.

Key parameters for Multi-Visit projects include:

  • A maximum of two trips per project.
  • All trips must be completed within a one-year period by the same Fulbright Specialist. The one-year period starts on the initial project start date and ends 12 months later.
  • Each visit must last a minimum of 14 days, and the total duration of all visits combined cannot exceed six weeks (42 days).
