Yes, the IRS has said, in referring to Fullbright grants, that "amounts paid to United States citizens for lecturing or teaching abroad are not paid to enable the recipients to pursue studies or research but are compensation for services rendered and are includible in their gross incomes under section 61 of the Code."

You would report this income in TurboTax, like this:

Go to Federal Taxes> Wages and Income
Scroll to the Less Common Income section and choose Miscellaneous Income (the last choice)
Choose Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
Answer Yes on the Other Wages Received screen
Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee and Sick or Disability Pay
Answer Yes on the Any Other Earned Income screen
Choose Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen
Enter your fellowship information on the Any Other Earned Income screen.

This will report your fellowship on line 7 of your Form 1040, and you will not be subject to Self Employment Tax.
