Fulbright Open Study/Research Award - Lesotho

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Lesotho aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Lesotho. This Open Study/Research Award provides opportunities for U.S. citizens to conduct independent research or study in Lesotho for 6-9 months. Life as a Fulbrighter in Lesotho is a unique and enriching experience that offers opportunities for personal growth, professional development, and cross-cultural exchange. It enables Fulbrighters to deepen their understanding of global issues, forge lasting friendships, and make meaningful contributions in their communities. The program accepts candidates at the bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. level. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a clear commitment to the host country community and describe how they will engage with it. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure affiliation with an educational or research institution, and it is strongly recommended that they identify appropriate host institutions and include affiliation letters with their applications.
