Every week, AHA Today showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship of interest to historians that has been posted to our free Calendar. We look for grants of potential interest to a wide range of scholars, and this week we are featuring opportunities with the Fulbright US Scholar Program.

The Fulbright US Scholar Program is pleased to offer awards in history for teaching and research for the 2016 – 2017 academic year. Opportunities are available in a number of countries including, but not limited to, the awards listed below:
