Morocco Open Study/Research Award

The Moroccan-American Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange (MACECE) supports fieldwork and research in areas of relevance to US-Morocco relations through this Fulbright Open Study/Research Award. The program offers a 9-month grant period with flexible start dates for conducting research in Morocco. MACECE also supports projects in the arts (both Performance and Fine Arts) that create and enhance the dialogue between the U.S. and Moroccan artistic communities. Ideal applicants should propose a distinctive research project relevant to Morocco that can be reasonably accomplished in 9 months. Applicants possessing appropriate language facility and previous cross-cultural experience will find their research more effectively accomplished and their Fulbright experience enhanced. While the Commission welcomes recent graduates, preference is given to candidates with Master's and PhD qualifications. Bachelor's degree holders should demonstrate research experience. Fulbrighters in Morocco experience a wide range of activities, from conducting fieldwork in remote villages to participating in dynamic seminars across various cities. These opportunities foster both personal and academic growth through partnerships with Moroccan institutions, engagement in scholarly pursuits rooted in the country's history and contemporary challenges, and collaboration with local scholars and students that encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, innovative research, and valuable cross-cultural exchanges.
