Jordan Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Research Program in Jordan offers grants for individually designed research projects across nearly all fields, including the sciences, professional disciplines, and the creative and performing arts. Grantees engage in meaningful cultural exchange, collaborating with Jordanian researchers and experts, thereby enhancing their professional expertise. These collaborations foster enduring personal and professional relationships, strengthening ties between the U.S. and Jordan. Grantees are expected to participate in volunteering and knowledge-sharing initiatives including presenting lectures at institutions throughout Jordan, conducting seminars, engaging in language exchange, and participating in community service initiatives. The Commission provides additional funding for Arabic language study through a separate application process after selection as a semi-finalist. The program welcomes applicants from all academic and professional backgrounds who are eager to contribute, learn, and foster enduring connections between the U.S. and Jordan. The grant period runs for 8-10 months beginning around mid-to-late September 2026, with an end date around mid-to-late June 2027.
