Exchange Program to the US

About

The KF Exchange Program to the US is designed for Polish scholars who want to conduct field or archival research, visit a lab, complete an artist residency or artistic project, or teach in US institutions.

Every year, we award approximately 40 scholars with grants and fellowships worth over $600,000. Our awardees conduct their research at top-ranking universities, including Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University, Yale University,  University of California (Berkeley), Columbia University, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Duke University and Cornell University.

Awards are open to all disciplines.

Application deadline: November 15th, 2024

Who can apply: Polish citizens who are PhD students, academic scholars, advanced post-doctoral fellows, instructors, assistant professors, researchers, and artists.

WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!

This program is made possible thanks to generous donations from individuals dedicated to fostering scholarly and scientific exchanges between Poland and the United States.
