The Department of Education will soon announce opportunities for the 2016 Fulbright Hays Research Fellowships. It is likely that the deadline will be in April.
This program provides grants to colleges and universities to fund individual doctoral students who conduct research in non-Western countries for periods of six to 12 months. The goal of the fellowship is to “deepen research knowledge on and help the nation develop capability in areas of the world not generally included in U.S. curricula. Projects focusing on Western Europe are not supported.”
Based on a scan of last year’s projects, students pursuing History, Latin American Art, Spanish, Portuguese, Educational Policy, Linguistics, Musicology, Sociology, Political Science, Geography, International Development, East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Religious Studies, Public Health, Communication Technology and Ecology were funded.
Students must apply through USC. Please direct anyone who is interested in applying to the graduate school. We would be happy to provide additional information and resources.
