Regional Scholar Exchange Program
Open Competition for Fellowships in the USA
The Government of the United States of America announces an open
competition for fellowships in the United States through the United
States Information Agency Regional Scholar Exchange Program. The
Regional Scholar Exchange Program is developed, funded and supervised
by the United States Information Agency with funds allocated by the
Congress of the United States, and administered by the International
Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) and the Kennan Institute for
Advanced Russian Studies.
The Regional Scholar Exchange Program selects highly qualified
university faculty and scholars at the early stages of their careers,
advanced graduate students pursuing dissertation research, and
mid-level faculty (associate professors) in designated fields of the
social sciences and humanities who are citizens of the New Independent
States and are residing in their home country at the time of
application and interview for fellowships at institutions in the
United States. All applicants must demonstrate a long-term
commitment to the field of higher education and scholarship in their
home countries in the social sciences and humanities and either
possess or be working toward a Kandidat or Doctor degree at the time
of application. Applicants should have published several articles in
their field or presented papers at scholarly conferences and must have
had few or no opportunities to conduct research in the United States.
One hundred (100) Regional Scholar Exchange Program Fellowships will
be awarded. IREX and the Kennan Institute will determine the
appropriate length of all fellowships.
The application deadline for the Regional Scholar Exchange Program is
October 31, 1997. Successful applicants will begin their fellowships
