Norway Open Study/Research Award

The Norway Open Study/Research Award is a Fulbright U.S. Student Program opportunity that provides academic year grants for graduate level students (including those in doctoral programs) for study and/or research in Norway. Graduate level means having a bachelor's degree in hand prior to the start of the grant. Contingent upon funding, up to 12 grants will be awarded. Projects can be either full-time study, independent research, or a combination of independent research and courses or seminars. Proposals are welcome from candidates in all disciplines. Well-qualified candidates at all degree levels will be considered. Candidates must be mature, self-motivated individuals who are capable of working independently with little supervision. Grants normally begin in August and last 6-10 months (typically 10 months). Shorter project timelines may be acceptable for Ph.D. candidates who want to be in Norway for less than 10 months. Norway is an excellent place to live, study, and conduct research, with a strong public emphasis on knowledge and learning and a generously funded and publicly accessible system of higher education. English is used almost as a second language in Norway, so competence in Norwegian is not required unless necessary for successful completion of the proposed project.
