Cambodia - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers up to 4 awards for U.S. recent graduates, graduate or PhD students to conduct a 10-month period of research in Cambodia. The program provides opportunities for independent study and research projects across all fields of study. Grantees are expected to work with a high degree of independence while serving as cultural ambassadors to promote mutual understanding between people of the United States and Cambodia. Master's and Ph.D. students are preferred, but graduating seniors and recent graduates will be considered. Self-motivation, creativity, adaptability, and professionalism are keys to a successful experience as a Fulbright student researcher. Grantees are expected to engage with the host country community and may work with the U.S. Embassy to program presentations at American Centers throughout Cambodia to raise awareness on topics of interest that align with U.S. Embassy priorities. The grant period begins in September 2026 and runs for 10 months.
