Tunisia - Open Study/Research Award (Fulbright U.S. Student Program)

The Fulbright Open Study/Research Award to Tunisia strengthens educational and cultural relations between the United States and Tunisia. This 6-10 month fellowship supports independent research or study in Tunisia beginning in the fall academic year. Applicants with previous cross-cultural experience, especially in the MENA region, are preferred. The program welcomes proposals across all academic disciplines and creative/performing arts. Participants receive a monthly stipend, travel benefits, health coverage, and assistance with housing and affiliation arrangements. Tunisia offers a rich cultural and historical setting with democratic development, magnificent Roman ruins, beautiful scenery, and dynamic civil society. Fulbright participants represent the United States in all aspects and engage deeply with the host country community. The award is part of the U.S. Department of State's flagship international educational exchange program, administered by the Institute of International Education.
