Incoming/Prospective Scholars

International scholars and their current/prospective hosting faculty members at TTU can contact the International Student and Scholar Services office (ISSS). The ISSS point of contact for faculty hosts and incoming/prospective Fulbright Scholars is:

Elizabeth Trejos Castillo, Vice Provost of International Affairs: elizabeth.trejos@ttu.edu

The first thing a prospective Fulbright scholar must do is connect with a TTU faculty member. The TTU faculty member must agree to serve as the Fulbright Scholar's host at TTU. After the TTU faculty member commits to serve as the host, Richard will help the faculty with the Fulbright paperwork but the hosting faculty is the signatory.

Faculty hosts, however, can refer to the International Faculty and Scholar Resources page created by ISSS and/or refer the Fulbright Scholar to this information to assist the scholar in their transition to life in Lubbock and work at TTU.

Please note: Fulbright scholars do not participate in these programs at TTU with immigration documents provided by ISSS. The Fulbright agency issues the J-1 immigration document (DS-2019) for these scholars and provides an orientation prior to their arrival at TTU to participate in the program under a TTU faculty host.
