Overview
The Public Affairs Section, U.S. Embassy Singapore, is pleased to announce the 2011-12 annual competition for Fulbright grants for Singapore citizens to study in the United States.
The program operates on the principles of autonomy and open competition based on individual merit, without regard to the individual's institutional affiliation, race, color or creed. The objective of the grant is to enable the recipient to pursue a particular field of study, and to develop leaders who can contribute to promoting better understanding between the United States and Singapore. We encourage grantees to participate and engage in non-academic activities within the community in which they are pursuing their studies. Upon returning to Singapore, Fulbrighters are expected to continue their role in building bridges of understanding, directly or indirectly, between the two countries through their professional and personal activities.
FIELDS OF STUDY
Priority will be given to the social sciences and humanities as they relate to the United States and Singapore. Within the natural and applied sciences, only policy-oriented proposals related to project 3 below will be considered.
1. The United States - study of U.S. society and culture through such fields as history, government, law, literature and the arts, intellectual history, sociology, religious pluralism, and cultural anthropology.
2. Education - study related to the educational systems (all levels) of Singapore and the United States. A comparative perspective is strongly encouraged. Areas of study may include, but are not limited to, all aspects of internationalization (institutional, faculty, students), structural and curricular reform, and the role of education in society.
3. Challenges of Contemporary Society - comparative studies of contemporary civil society and social issues in Singapore and the United States. Subjects of particular interest include risk or crisis management issues, life sciences, climate change, environmental pollution, urbanization, gerontology, finite resources, ageing society, population, labor relations, the family, public law, and criminology.
4. International Relations - study of Pacific Rim issues, such as contemporary political and economic relations among countries in the Asia-Pacific, including Northeast and Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, North America, Australia, and New Zealand.
