Each visiting scholar is required to have a faculty academic host. It is important that you submit all parts of the application to enable the Center for International Education and Development and department chairpersons to request a faculty host if you have not already made contact.

If you are accepted, you will receive an official letter of invitation. This letter will include instructions for the next steps of the process.

Your appointment as a visiting scholar does not provide compensation or financial assistance through IU. We do however provide full access to the Indiana University Libraries system and all its resources.

Please visit the Office of International Services for resources to assist you in planning your visit to Bloomington.

The Global and International Engagement (GIE) office assists visiting scholars, primarily handling the extensive paperwork involved in international applications. Visiting scholars should note that their hosts serve as their primary source of support.
