Mozambique - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program Open Study/Research Award for Mozambique aims to promote mutual cultural understanding and strengthen educational ties between the U.S. and Mozambique. This award supports independent study or research projects in Mozambique for 6-9 months with a flexible start date between August 2026 and March 2027. Mozambique is a Lusophone country in southeastern Africa, rich in natural resources with extensive coastline and a growing interest in English language education and professional development. The award is designed for candidates from all disciplines who demonstrate a clear commitment to engaging with the host country community. Applicants must secure affiliation with an appropriate host institution in Mozambique and demonstrate intermediate Portuguese language proficiency, which is necessary for project development and daily communication. Prior experience in the country is preferred but not required. The program particularly values projects that contribute to educational development, English language instruction, and professional training in this rapidly developing nation.
