Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowships

Deadline: March 10, 2025

The International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE) office at the U.S. Department of Education is pleased to announce the opening of the competition for the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) fellowships program.

The FRA program funds fellowships through institutions of higher education (IHEs) to faculty members to conduct research abroad in modern foreign languages and area studies to improve their skill in languages and their knowledge of the culture of the people of these countries. Fellows conduct research abroad for three to 12 months. Funds support travel expenses to and from the fellow’s residence and the country or countries of research, a maintenance stipend related to the fellow’s academic year salary, and an allowance for research-related expenses, such as books and photocopying, tuition, affiliation fees, local travel, and other incidental expenses. Proposals focusing solely on Western Europe are not eligible.

IFLE expects to make 15 new awards totaling approximately $750,000 under the FY 2025 FRA competition. Applications for the FRA program must be submitted through the G5/G6 system. The application package document provides specific instructions on how to apply for an FRA fellowship. The deadline to apply is March 10, 2025.

Please refer to the official Federal Register notice for detailed information about the FY 2025 competition.
