About This Opportunity

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Malawi aims to promote collaboration and robust research while strengthening educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Malawi. The program provides the opportunity for academically mature students to complete independent research projects in Malawi through up to 9 months of grant support. The program requires students to be affiliated with an accredited Malawian higher education institution and have their research aligned with the U.S. Embassy's Integrated Country Strategy. During their time in Malawi, Fulbright U.S. students will be expected to interact with their Malawian counterparts and to share best practices and resources. They should also report their project progress to the U.S. Embassy. Preference will be given to candidates showing expertise in their field, prior contact with the host institution, and the ability to work independently.
