Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program: Peer Review

Thank you for your interest in joining a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program Peer Review committee. These passionate, dedicated reviewers are vital in the review and selection process. The Institute of International Education (IIE) organizes committees based on discipline expertise and world region experience.

The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is an annual competition, with the following timeline:

  • February: U.S. Scholar Program competition opens.
  • Spring-Summer: IIE identifies and places reviewers on Peer Review committees.
  • September 15: U.S. Scholar Program competition closes. IIE screens applications for program eligibility and completeness.
  • Early October: Peer Review committee members access and evaluate applications.
  • Mid-October through mid-November: Peer Review committees meet to discuss the applications, and to come to consensus on whether applications are recommended for further consideration in the host country.

Please complete this short survey and email your current CV/resume to PeerReview@iie.org, if you have not done so already.
