The Outreach Lecturing Fund (OLF) allows Fulbright Visiting Scholars who are currently in the United States to travel to other higher
education institutions across the country. Each year some 800 faculty and professionals from around the world receive Fulbright Scholar grants for
advanced research and university lecturing. The purpose of the OLF is to allow these scholars to share their specific research interests, speak on the
history and culture of their home country, exchange ideas with U.S. students, faculty and community organizations, become better acquainted with
U.S. higher education, and create linkages between their home and host institutions and CIES.
