About This Opportunity

The Fulbright Italy Open Study/Research Award provides scholarships for U.S. citizens at all degree levels and in all fields of study to conduct research or study in Italy for 9 months. The award supports independent research projects or enrollment in courses at Italian universities. Grants begin in October and run through June. The program particularly encourages projects in innovative and contemporary issues, Science and Technology, and those wishing to enroll in Italian university courses. Preference is given to candidates conducting projects at universities or institutions outside large cities and/or in the South of Italy, with priority given to students enrolled in graduate programs in the U.S. at the time of application. Grantees must affiliate with accredited academic or research institutions in Italy and demonstrate Italian language proficiency commensurate with their project. The award includes a monthly stipend, international travel allowance, health benefits, and opportunities for cultural exchange and networking with Italian and U.S. Fulbright scholars.
