including its unique folk music and dance traditions as well as contemporary literary and performance practices. Thanks to its striking natural landscape, rich agricultural roots, and four-season climate, Bulgaria is an increasingly popular destination for outdoor and culinary tourism.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Bulgaria also has a strong ICT and start-up sector, based primarily in Sofia, and some Bulgarian companies have started receiving international recognition for their innovations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bulgaria has a relatively homogenous majority population of Slavic-speakers who traditionally identify as Orthodox Christian; however, the country is also home to Turkish and Roma communities and has a sizeable Muslim minority (more than 10%). While Bulgarians are known for their warm hospitality, some communities may hold conservative views and may not have extensive experience interacting with foreigners.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Younger Bulgarians often have solid levels of English-language competence thanks to access to digital and online resources, while older generations, who had limited access to English instruction under communism, may have studied Russian, German or French instead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since the fall of communism in 1989, Bulgaria has been a parliamentary democracy, joining the EU in 2007. Although Bulgaria has the lowest standard of living in the EU and struggles with challenges such as emigration\/brain-drain and rule-of-law issues, the country has nevertheless generally been politically and economically stable. All applicants are urged to consult the most recent <\/span>State Department Country Report on Human Rights Practices<\/span><\/a>,\u202f<\/span>which offers the most exhaustive and up-to-date description of political, social and cultural trends in Bulgaria.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”FAQ” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”0px||” disabled=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”” width_last_edited=”on|desktop” max_width=”100%” max_width_tablet=”100%” max_width_phone=”” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_alignment=”left” custom_padding=”0px||0px” make_fullwidth=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#003da5″ custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”|800||on|||||” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font_size=”48px” header_2_letter_spacing=”1px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_padding=”|||||false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”20px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” animation_style__hover=”none” animation_style__hover_enabled=”none” animation_repeat__hover=”once” animation_repeat__hover_enabled=”once” animation_direction__hover=”center” animation_direction__hover_enabled=”center” animation_duration__hover=”1000ms” animation_duration__hover_enabled=”1000ms” animation_delay__hover=”0ms” animation_delay__hover_enabled=”0ms” animation_intensity_slide__hover=”50%” animation_intensity_slide__hover_enabled=”50%” animation_intensity_zoom__hover=”50%” animation_intensity_zoom__hover_enabled=”50%” animation_intensity_flip__hover=”50%” animation_intensity_flip__hover_enabled=”50%” animation_intensity_fold__hover=”50%” animation_intensity_fold__hover_enabled=”50%” animation_intensity_roll__hover=”50%” animation_intensity_roll__hover_enabled=”50%” animation_starting_opacity__hover=”0%” animation_starting_opacity__hover_enabled=”0%” animation_speed_curve__hover=”ease-in-out” animation_speed_curve__hover_enabled=”ease-in-out”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”0|0|0|0|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” width_unit=”off” custom_width_percent=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.17.6″ module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cost share for host insitutions” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_margin=”||20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Host institutions should provide the Specialist with lodging, meals, and in-country transportation, either through monetary or in-kind contributions, throughout their full stay in country.

Before beginning an application for the Program, prospective host institutions should contact the Bulgarian Fulbright Commission to confirm eligibility of the project.

Only project proposals that are completed in their entirety will be reviewed. Please note that the Bulgarian Fulbright Commission often receives more project proposals from prospective host institutions than it is able to support with limited funding. Therefore, not all proposals submitted will be approved.\u00a0If a project has not been approved in the respective cycle for the year, host institutions can re-apply in the next cycles, updating the dates for the visit of the Specialist.<\/p>\n If your project proposal is approved by the Bulgarian Fulbright Commission it must then be approved by multiple offices within the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Therefore, we recommend that host institutions allow a minimum of three months between application submission and the anticipated project start date for named requests, and a minimum of four months for open requests.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Individuals Interested in Serving as a Fulbright Specialists” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_margin=”||20px” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Individuals interested in serving as a Fulbright Specialist must meet all eligibility requirements including: For a complete list of eligibility requirements and information on how to apply to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster, please visit\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/fulbrightspecialist.worldlearning.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n U.S. academics and professionals interested in applying to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster, should direct all questions to World Learning at\u00a0<\/span>fulbrightspecialist@worldlearning.org<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” bottom_divider_style=”slant” bottom_divider_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.02)” bottom_divider_height=”100%” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_header title=”Sign Up Today.
