China
The U.S.-China Fulbright Program was the first in the world. Inaugurated in 1947, it was closed in 1949 and reinstated in 1979. Approximately 20 U.S. Fulbright professors visit China each year to lecture in various social science and humanities fields. This year there are 54 junior and 18 senior U.S. researchers in China in various aspects of Sinology. Some 40 Chinese Fulbright researchers, plus 10 graduate students, visit the U.S. annually to conduct research in various aspects of American studies. Fulbright Program Opportunities in the U.S. for Chinese Citizens
Fulbright opportunities for Chinese citizens to study, conduct research and teach language in the U.S. are governed by bilateral relationships between the U.S. and Chinese governments. All Chinese applicants for Fulbright grants apply under regulations determined by the Ministry of Education in China. In addition to senior and junior research opportunities, the U.S. recognizes Chinese as a critical foreign language and invites students and young teachers to teach their native language at U.S. universities through the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant Program. Fulbright Program Opportunities in China for Americans
There are numerous opportunities for U.S. scholars and students to apply for teaching or research grants in China. The areas of teaching and research include primarily disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. Professors of American Literature are particularly welcomed to apply. Recent graduates and individuals in doctoral programs may apply for student grants. All student applicants must be tested for their fluency in Mandarin.
