Fulbright Visiting Scholars Program
Duke University has the opportunity to host faculty and other scholars from around the world at no cost to the institution through the Fulbright Visiting Scholars Program.

All academic programs qualify. The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) covers all finances, including transportation, a living stipend, insurance, and visa processing.
