Israel Open Study/Research Award

The United States–Israel Educational Foundation (USIEF), known as Fulbright Israel, offers grants to open study/research students during the academic year. This program is designed to provide students with opportunities for research advancement by utilizing local resources as well as gaining international experience. Grantees plan their own projects, which may include independent library, archival or field research, consultations with local professors, or a combination of such activities. Along with opportunities for research and engagement with local resources, there are invaluable opportunities to meet and work with local professionals and experts of the host country, sharing daily life as well as professional and creative experiences. The Fulbright Research Fellowship is intended to enrich and advance candidates' research by utilizing local resources and specific expertise. Fulbright Israel 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 Israel.
