Ghana - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Ghana aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Ghana. This is a non-degree research program offering 6-9 months of support for U.S. students and scholars to conduct independent research in Ghana. Applications with broad multiplier effects are particularly welcome, as are projects that are conducive to candidates sharing their experiences and knowledge with colleagues, students and the general public in Ghana and upon return to the United States. The program provides opportunities to engage with Ghana's warm and welcoming communities, learn about Ghanaian cultural practices, and explore the many historic ties between the United States and Ghana. Candidates at the bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. levels will be considered, and applicants should have typically 7 years or less of professional experience in their field. Grantees are strongly encouraged to arrive in early August for a required in-country orientation.
