Overview
Grants are offered to EU citizens to study or research on European Union affairs, European integration or EU-US relations for periods of three to ten months at a US institution. Successful candidates will be placed in an appropriate institution. Detailed information is available from the Commission for Educational Exchange between the United States, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Award Benefits
Grants typically include a monthly stipend of €3,000, plus a lump sum of €2,000 for round-trip air transportation and relocation costs (up to a maximum of €30,000 per grantee). Benefits also include health insurance, visa processing and participation in a number of Fulbright Scholar events.
Selection Criteria
Minimum eligibility for this award category:
- EU citizen, proficient in English
- at least two years of relevant professional experience beyond first degree
- academic/professional experience in at least two different EU countries
- proven level of academic or professional excellence as well as outstanding records
- the necessary credentials to be accepted onto a US postgraduate course
Preference will be given to those who do not have extensive, recent experience in the US (6 months). Current or retired officials of Community institutions are not eligible to apply.
In making these awards the Commission is looking not only for academic excellence but a focused application, a range of extracurricular and community activities, demonstrated ambassadorial skills, a desire to further the Fulbright Programme and a plan to give back to your home country upon returning.
