Fulbright/KAUST Graduate Award

The Fulbright/KAUST Graduate Award offers students the opportunity to expand their knowledge in STEM at a world-class research university located on the shores of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. With 100+ nationalities represented on campus, scholars will have the opportunity to engage with students, faculty, and researchers from around the world. KAUST invests in its students so they can fulfill their intellectual and personal potential. Each Fulbright KAUST Scholar admitted to the University will be provided with the KAUST Fellowship which provides full tuition support, on-campus housing, roundtrip airfare, routine medical coverage within Saudi Arabia, and a monthly stipend. In partnership with Fulbright, KAUST offers up to 5 scholarships for successful applicants to any of our Masters degree programs. The award is aimed at students who wish to complete a full master's degree at KAUST. The most competitive applications will demonstrate knowledge of and interest in Saudi Arabia and/or the MENA region. The Fulbright Program for Saudi Arabia offers grants on the basis of academic excellence, the leadership promise of the applicant, and their potential to both advance knowledge and enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
