Trinidad & Tobago Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research Award is open to US citizens interested in pursuing postgraduate research for 10 months in Trinidad and Tobago. The award provides financial support for independent study and research projects in the country. Candidates should be open to learning new cultures and adjusting to the challenges that may come with doing research in under-resourced communities and institutions. Fulbrighters are expected to collaborate with the U.S. Embassy on community outreach projects to highlight the Fulbright Program while in country. Grantees typically get very involved in their communities, volunteer, teach English, and participate in cultural events. The academic calendar begins in September with flexible start dates, though the last possible start date is March 31, 2027.
