Community College Faculty Award
Scholar Grant - Community College Faculty Award
Fulbright Denmark has initiated direct cooperation with leaders from the corporate and academic worlds to focus on three areas:
Sustainability, Space and Life Sciences.
Denmark and the U.S. have much to offer but also learn from one another within these fields; they are all important fields for a better future.
Fulbright Denmark continues to support studies and research within all fields.
Scholars from Community Colleges can apply for a Danish educational institution as a visiting scholar for a semester. The Danish educational institution must offer short, medium and long higher education.
The Danish institution can be at either the equivalent level of a U.S. community college or university. A strong letter of invitation from the Danish institution must be included in the successful application.

The Process of Applying
Before the visit
The Fulbright Scholar identifies a higher education and/or research institution in Denmark.
Alternatively, the Danish host institution contacts the Fulbright Scholar during their Fulbright grant period in Europe.
If the Danish host does not have a specific Fulbrighter in mind, they can identify a suitable scholar from the database of U.S. Fulbright scholars in Europe for the current academic year. The Finish Fulbright Center maintains an updated list of the Current US Fulbright Scholars in eligible countries.
Scholar and Host get in touch and agree on dates, content and logistics of the visit. Host must confirm willingness to cover in-country expenses.
Host completes and submits a Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant application to Fulbright Denmark.
Scholar and host institution will receive a joint letter from Fulbright Denmark with the grant decision – and, if selected, with details of the grant as well as other important information to help with your travel plans.
After the visit
The Scholar’s airfare costs will be reimbursed either directly to the host institution or to the visiting lecturer after the visit, and against submission of travel tickets and receipts.
Fulbright Denmark requires the submission of a Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant Report form and one or two photos from the visit.
Application Form
Inter-Country Travel Grant
Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant
Fulbright Denmark participates in the Fulbright Inter-Country Travel Grant Program, which enables U.S Fulbright Scholars to create connections with other fellow scholars and institutions in their field in Europe. Each year approx. 200 American Fulbright visiting professors are affiliated with a university in Europe.
Danish higher education institutions can apply for one of these U.S. Fulbright professors to visit them for a maximum of one week, for example to give lectures, participate actively in seminars and workshops, etc.
Similarly, US Fulbright Scholars in Denmark can get invited to other institutions across Europe, and thus enrich their professional and cultural experience outside of Denmark.
If you wish to invite a US Fulbright Scholar
Please find a list of eligible scholars and read more about the application process here.
If you are a US Fulbright Scholar
Please ask the inviting institution to confirm that the Fulbright Commission in the inviting country offers Inter-Country Travel Grants. If so, you should apply for an Inter-Country Travel Grant directly with the relevant Commission. Fulbright Denmark may be contacted by the relevant Commission to confirm our approval of the travels.
To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.

Fulbright Specialist
The Fulbright Specialist Program – 2-6 weeks in Denmark
The Fulbright Specialist Program, part of the larger Fulbright Program, was established in 2001 by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The program is an initiative in which host institutions can invite highly qualified U.S. academic or professional specialists to contribute to and work on projects of shared interest. By sharing their expertise, the host institution and specialist work towards strengthening the linkages between the U.S. and the Danish host institution.
Fulbright Denmark accepts projects from host institutions with a named specialist in mind OR so-called open projects, where the concept of the project is articulated but no particular specialist is identified.
Project activities
Host institutions design collaborative projects in over 20 eligible disciplines, including education, business, law, environmental science, journalism, and public health. Specific project activities may include, but are not limited to:
- Delivering a seminar or workshop
- Consulting on faculty or workforce development
- Developing academic or training curricula and materials
- Co-lecturing at the graduate or undergraduate level
- Conducting needs assessments or evaluations for a program or institution
Below you can find examples of previous projects:
All Host Institutions
Vocational Colleges and Schools of Applied Science
Institutions within the Arts
Non-Academic Institutions
Projects must be between 14-42 days (travel days included). Multi-visits may be possible, but the combined number of days for both visits cannot exceed 42 days.
Two possible tracks
1. NAMED SPECIALIST
The host can develop a project proposal collaboratively with a specific individual (i.e. named project model). We strongly recommend that the Danish institution is in contact with any individuals of interest before submitting the project proposal to confirm the scholar’s interest and availability. The scholar should also be sure register in the so-called Specialist Roster for review. The Roster is a database, where all Specialists have to register to be pre-approved.
2. OPEN PROJECT MODEL
Through the open project model, Fulbright Denmark can directly recruit individuals from U.S. colleges for the project of a Danish institution. This is an excellent way for the Danish host to be able to review multiple potential candidates with a strong interest in their project.
