Indonesia - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Indonesia Open Study/Research Award provides grants for a 10-month individual research project in Indonesia, carried out as part of a doctoral or master's degree program, or for a non-degree research project. Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, is blessed with multiculturalism and biodiversity, home to more than 300 ethnic groups speaking over 700 languages, and included in the top 10 of 17 mega-diverse countries in the world. Fulbright Indonesia (AMINEF) supports grantees conducting research in various topics ranging from orangutan, rainforest, Indonesian pop music, economics, politics, history, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and more. Conducting research in Indonesia has been proven a rewarding experience for many Fulbrighters. Besides working on their projects, Fulbright Student Researchers will also meet, live with, and learn from Indonesians, sharing daily experiences. At the end of their grant, grantees not only will learn more about this fascinating country but also build meaningful connections with Indonesians. Selected candidates will join a virtual Pre-Departure Orientation in Summer 2026 and an in-country arrival orientation in Jakarta at the start of their grant.
