Estonia - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Open Study/Research Award for Estonia aims to strengthen economic, security, and educational relationships between the United States and Estonia while advancing American values globally. The program supports fieldwork and research in various areas including economy and mutual prosperity, society and politics, science and technology, public health, law and security, education, and arts (both performance and fine arts). This 9-month grant runs from September to June and is open to well-qualified candidates at all degree levels (bachelor's, master's, and doctoral). Candidates must be mature, self-motivated individuals capable of working independently. Applications are considered in all fields except medical science involving direct patient contact. Excellent opportunities exist for the study of Estonian language and society. Estonia is known for its technological innovation, having birthed companies like Skype, Bolt, and Wise, and ranks among the most wired and technologically advanced countries in the world. The country offers a vibrant academic environment with six public universities and numerous research opportunities, particularly in collaboration with Estonian scholars and institutions.
