About This Opportunity

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Madagascar aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Madagascar. This award supports Ph.D. candidates conducting doctoral research and candidates conducting advanced Master's-level research who can work independently. Research linked to supporting strategic objectives of the U.S. Embassy in Antananarivo is highly recommended, including advancing democratic values, promoting economic growth, and supporting efforts to protect Madagascar's biodiversity and promote conservation. The grant period is flexible, with grants beginning between October 2026 and March 2027, subject to U.S. Embassy approval. The program offers a unique opportunity to experience Madagascar's rich biodiversity, culture, and stunning landscapes while conducting meaningful research in an isolated but rewarding environment.
