Awards are open to scholars who have more than seven years of experience in their discipline or area of expertise, though some awards may further restrict eligibility. All awards are open to academics and a limited number are also open to artists and professionals. Distinguished Scholars are expected to actively engage host institutions in a spirt of promoting mutual understanding and sharing knowledge. Awards may involve limited teaching, not to exceed more than one course per term, or three-hours of teaching per week. Check award descriptions for institutional affiliation requirements.

Postdocs are open to scholars who will have received a doctoral degree (Ph.D., J.D, M.D., Ed.D., etc.) within five to seven years of the fellowship start date, as noted in the award description. Degree conferment before the start of the award is mandatory. Institutional affiliation in the U.S. is not required.
