The Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Program for AY 2025/2026 is officially open! The objective of the program, which started in 2012, is to deepen people-to-people engagement and strengthen our ties with the ten member nations of ASEAN, emphasizing the importance of ASEAN. The Fulbright U.S.–ASEAN Visiting Scholar Program 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. Selected Fulbright U.S.–ASEAN visiting scholars will travel to the United States for three to four months, where they will carry out scholarly and professional research on priority issues to the US–ASEAN relationship. The application deadline is November 13, 2024.

MACEE is looking for Malaysian scholars who understand how their work plays a pivotal role in Malaysia's continued development and can also impart their experiences from the U.S. to students, colleagues, and community groups in Malaysia and the region.

We are asking you and your institution of higher education's assistance in disseminating information about the  Fulbright U.S.-ASEAN Visiting Scholar Program to all relevant staff members. We have attached the program flyer, which provides detailed information about the program, its award benefits, and the application process.

MACEE strives to provide consistent support to all partners and program applicants participating in the Fulbright programs.

Please do not hesitate to contact our team at fulbrightmalaysia@macee.org.my should you have questions or need additional support in the outreach and application processes.
