Laos - Open Study/Research Award

There are up to two awards for U.S. recent graduates, graduate or PhD students to conduct a 10-month period of research in Laos. Being a Fulbright Researcher in Laos is a rewarding and enriching experience that offers a unique environment for conducting research, with opportunities to engage deeply with local communities and cultures. The relaxed and less structured nature of Lao culture requires researchers to be adaptable, as plans may change frequently. As a researcher, you'll need to be a self-starter who can work independently and take initiative to move your project forward. Resources may be limited, so creativity and problem-solving skills are essential. In addition to your research, you are also a cultural ambassador, promoting mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Laos.
