Armenia - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program Open Study/Research Award for Armenia welcomes strong research proposals in any field for master's and doctoral level candidates. The program provides a 9-month grant beginning in September for U.S. citizens to conduct independent research or study in Armenia. Candidates should demonstrate a commitment to their proposed field that could lead to future professional or academic engagement, with strong intercultural and leadership skills. Proposed projects should be feasible for implementation in the host country and aligned with the candidate's academic background. Candidates should be prepared to lead their projects in direct cooperation with their hosts, whether universities, research institutes, community organizations, or think-tanks. Grantees are typically placed in Yerevan, the capital city, and are expected to be adaptable and flexible while engaging meaningfully with the host country community.
