USA: Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad

Overview

The Office of International Affairs administers the U.S. Department of Education's Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad program. These grants provide support for advanced graduate students studying modern foreign languages and area studies (projects focusing on Western Europe are not supported). All doctoral degree candidates proposing full-time dissertation research abroad on topics that develop research knowledge and capabilities in world areas not commonly taught in U.S. institutions are encouraged to apply.

Grants support field research of 6 to 12 months in duration. Eligibility is restricted to students who possess the requisite language skills for the dissertation project, and who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The History of Title VI and Fulbright-Hays details the emergence of Title VI Language and Area Studies Programs.

This program holds an annual competition. Graduate students must apply through The Ohio State University. If you plan to apply for the FY 2011 award, contact Joanna Kukielka-Blaser ( kukielka-blaser.1@osu.edu )
