About This Opportunity

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program enables 1-2 U.S. students to conduct a research project at a Bruneian host institution for 10 months. During His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei's visit to the U.S. in December 2002, President George W. Bush and the Sultan agreed on a commitment for more academic exchanges, leading to the successful reactivation of the Fulbright Scholarship in Brunei in 2003. While the program is open to all fields of study, Brunei presents an exceptional opportunity for students of rainforest ecology and associated disciplines, as more than 70% of Brunei's land areas are covered by primary rainforests that remain untouched by logging. Projects related to Environmental Science and Ecology are highly encouraged. Grantees receive a monthly stipend, international travel benefits, health benefits, and one-time allowances for research materials and settling in.
