Fulbright U.S. Student Program to Georgia - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program to Georgia provides up to 2 awards per academic year for U.S. citizens holding at least a bachelor's degree to conduct individually designed research, engage in civic initiatives, or develop their talents in Georgia. Students may be affiliated with institutions of higher education, government institutions, non-governmental organizations, research institutions or think-tanks, cultural institutions, public organizations, or media. Grantees are expected to participate in activities organized by the U.S. Embassy throughout the year. For student research projects within their field of professional and/or artistic expertise, the initiative could encompass research, consultations with experts, organizing exhibitions, producing written materials like articles and reviews, teaching at American Corners, presenting at universities and education fairs, or involvement in public events. Preference will be given to candidates interested in conducting research at a university/institution outside of the capital city. Candidates are encouraged to address issues of significance to contemporary U.S. and Georgia, such as natural and social sciences, conflict studies, educational reform/internationalization, urban planning and landscape architecture, regional security, media literacy, and the humanities. The program runs for 9 months from September to June.
