The U.S. Mission in Vietnam is calling for nominations of outstanding candidates to participate in the 2017 Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Initiative.

The Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Initiative is open to university faculty, foreign ministry or other government officials, and professional staff of the private sector, think tanks, and other NGOs in the ASEAN member states to travel to the United States for scholarly and professional research for three to four months on issues of priority to the U.S.-ASEAN relationship.

Nominations will be accepted from all ASEAN member states, the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi said in a press release on Monday.

The Fulbright Program in Vietnam will coordinate to nominate up to three candidates from Vietnam. 

It is anticipated that 10 qualified applicants will be selected, preferably representing each of the 10 ASEAN member states, by a U.S.-ASEAN selection committee.  

Only online applications with completed supporting documents by 5:00 pm (Vietnam time) Friday, October 28, 2016, will be considered.
