Spain Open Study/Research Award

Fulbright Spain's Open Study/Research awards are available to applicants from all academic disciplines. These awards aim to foster cultural, educational, and scientific exchange between the United States and Spain, providing grantees with opportunities for ongoing research collaboration. Funding for this program is provided by the U.S. Government and the Spanish Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education. The program is designed for graduating seniors and advanced graduate students/doctoral candidates who are mature, self-motivated individuals capable of working independently with minimal supervision. The focus is primarily on independent graduate research in areas of mutual U.S./Spanish interest, with particular emphasis on contemporary issues. While participation in university coursework may be considered, it should not be the sole purpose of the project. The commission provides extensive support regarding administrative issues such as visa and documentation processes, along with ample pre-departure and arrival information.
