The Embassy of the United States of America in Moldova is pleased to announce the Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program competition for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Application Deadline: October 24, 2025
Prospective Fulbright participants should be aware that public health conditions, availability of consular services and travel, as well as U.S. institutional operating status and policies may affect their ability to travel to the U.S. and participate in academic programs.
The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program offers non-degree research grants for senior researchers, university lecturers, or experts in different fields who have a doctoral degree or equivalent professional experience. Grants are awarded for a period of three to nine months. It is not required, but in many cases, applicants are in contact with colleagues at U.S. institutions and have made preliminary plans for their own placements by securing a letter of invitation from the prospective host institution.
The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program selects outstanding citizens of Moldova to conduct research in the United States in the fields of economics and development, education, finance and banking, public policy, public administration, international affairs, marketing, law, library and information science, technology policy and management.
All applicants must currently be affiliated with one of the higher education or research institutions in Moldova. In addition, all qualified applicants are expected to have the capacity and commitment to take full advantage of the program of research at a U.S. university and be willing to share their experience and knowledge after returning to Moldova. The Fulbright experience should be of value not only to the scholar, but also to the scholar’s home university – its students and faculty – as well as to the U.S. host institution.
