Zimbabwe - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in Zimbabwe aims to promote collaboration and robust research while strengthening educational and cultural relationships between the United States and Zimbabwe. The program provides the opportunity for academically mature students to complete independent research projects in Zimbabwe through up to 9 months of grant support. The program requires affiliation with a higher education or research institution in Zimbabwe, as well as a thorough research plan in any area, but especially in Cybersecurity and Information Technology, Business and Entrepreneurship, STEM, Commercialization of Research, Mining, Agriculture, Media and Information Literacy, Artificial Intelligence, and Energy. During their time in Zimbabwe, Fulbright U.S. students are expected to interact with their Zimbabwean counterparts, share best practices and collaborate on research where possible. Grantees must report their project progress to the U.S. Embassy on a quarterly basis and should consider themselves part of the ongoing U.S. Embassy program.
