The Fulbright Outreach Lecturing Fund (OLF) ProgramThe Fulbright Outreach Lecturing Fund (OLF) provides funding for campuses to host Fulbright Visiting Scholars, already in the United States, for short-term speaking engagements, at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education outside of their primary host community. The OLF award is designed to enrich both institutions and Visiting Scholars through lectures that will promote academic disciplines and cultural understanding. Additionally, the OLF seeks to build relationships and partnerships with institutions that are currently underrepresented within the Fulbright Program to promote future opportunities.The OLF program is a great way to initiate involvement with Fulbright as it is a short-term award. The typical OLF visit is 2-5 days long, with the scholar completing guest lectures, cultural events, and other similar engagements on and off campus. The OLF award covers the scholar’s direct roundtrip airfare, a modest airport transit allowance, and a per diem meals and incidental expenses allowance. The OLF program accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the year. Begin an OLF application here. A list of the eligible Fulbright Visiting Scholars that institutions can apply to host for an OLF visit can be found here.For any inquiries about the OLF program, contact us at OLF@iie.org.
