Ethiopia Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Ethiopia aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Ethiopia. Applications in all fields will be considered, with those matching the U.S. Embassy's priority areas particularly encouraged. Ph.D. candidates who plan to conduct dissertation research are preferred. Master's- and Bachelor's-level candidates with extensive professional experience and/or study in the fields they wish to pursue and who present serious projects will also be considered. All candidates must be mature and able to carry out independent research projects in an often difficult environment. Fulbright grants will begin between August 2026 and March 2027, subject to the approval of the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa. Life as a Fulbrighter in Ethiopia is a unique and enriching experience that offers opportunities for personal growth, professional development, and cross-cultural exchange.
