Egypt - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program to Egypt provides grant opportunities for American master's and doctoral degree students in all fields to conduct their graduate dissertation research in Cairo. The goal of the Fulbright Program in Egypt is to ensure students have a deeply enriching and productive experience, academically and culturally, and to promote mutual understanding between Egypt and the United States. Fulbright U.S. Students are placed at public or private universities or research institutions in Egypt. The program is a 9-month research grant starting in September and ending in May. The Fulbright Commission in Egypt provides substantive support through the affiliation and pre-arrival process, liaising with Egyptian universities on behalf of U.S. students to confirm affiliation, assist with the general clearance process, and provide guidance regarding travel and arrival logistics. Clearance from the Government of Egypt is required for all Fulbright U.S. Student grants and must be obtained for award issuance.
