About This Opportunity

The Fulbright Philippines Open Study/Research Award offers U.S. citizens the opportunity to conduct independent research or study at Philippine universities for 9 months. The program particularly seeks applications in Environmental Sciences, International Relations, Philippine Area Studies, Geography, History, Arts & Humanities, Anthropology/Archaeology, Law, Education, Linguistics, Journalism, Literature, Political Science, Math, Engineering, Sciences, Public/Global Health, Urban & Regional Planning and Agriculture. The Philippines, an archipelago of 7,641 islands, provides a rich academic and cultural experience with an educational system similar to the United States where English is widely spoken. The grant begins in mid-August 2026 or mid-January 2027 to correspond with Philippine academic terms. Selected grantees must affiliate with Philippine universities and priority is given to projects outside of metro Manila. Note that proposals to conduct research in Mindanao will not be considered.
