About this opportunity
Fulbright Germany's study and research program facilitates research and studies for two academic semesters at a German university or relevant non-university institution, such as research labs or archives. The program aims to strengthen scientific, academic and cultural relations between Germany and the United States and to provide grantees with access to Germany's excellent higher education system, outstanding infrastructure, and dynamic research ecosystem. During the grant period, grantees broaden their academic, scientific, or artistic skills as degree-seeking, non-degree students, or researchers. Applications are open to candidates of all personal and academic backgrounds. The program particularly encourages candidates who have strong intercultural and leadership skills, and who have experience with and motivation for community engagement.
