About This Opportunity

The Fulbright Open Study/Research Award for Croatia offers U.S. citizens the opportunity to conduct independent research or study for 9 months in Croatia. Projects in all disciplines are welcome, with preference given to Ph.D. and master's candidates. Grantees select their own research projects and secure affiliation at Croatian universities. The award provides both U.S. and Croatian government stipends to support living expenses, along with travel and health benefits. Croatia, the European Union's newest member state at the time, offers a rich cultural and historical environment for research. Zagreb serves as the main academic center with numerous universities, though opportunities exist throughout the country. The program includes pre-departure orientation and mandatory in-country orientation in Zagreb. Grantees are encouraged to engage with local communities through American Corners and embassy programs. Croatian language proficiency is not required but encouraged for deeper community engagement.
