Fulbright-Université Grenoble Alpes Award

The Fulbright-Université Grenoble Alpes Award offers two to three awards of 8 to 10 months each to pursue a Master's degree or doctoral research at the Université Grenoble Alpes in France. This award is available in any of the disciplines represented at the university. The Université Grenoble Alpes is ranked among the top ten universities in France and the top 150 universities in the world, with 59,000 students including 10,500 international students. The university has 30 departments and schools representing a wide variety of fields, from literature to particle physics to engineering to architecture to political science to sociology to biology. While all fields are eligible, there is particular interest in projects focusing on biology, chemistry, or health. For master's students, grants generally begin on September 1 through June 30 for university attendance and may be renewed for a second year conditional upon results. For doctoral candidates, grants are a minimum of 8 months and a maximum of 10 months in duration. Grenoble is located at the foot of the Alps and is home to a thriving high-tech research network and international community. Grantees will be required to attend a mandatory 1-2 day in-country orientation in late September and a 2-day mid-year conference in February organized by the Fulbright Commission in France.
