4 Fulbright Study/Research Grants

Language:

Knowledge of Khmer is encouraged, but not required. Applicants without Khmer language skills should include plans for language study in their Fulbright projects and must study Khmer concurrent with their research after arriving in Cambodia.

Grant period:

10 months. Grantees must begin their grants in September 2014 in order to attend a mandatory in-country orientation. The exact start date is subject to agreement with the host institution and the U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh.

Ineligibility:

Candidates currently residing in Cambodia (or those who will be living in Camboidia during the 2013-2014 academic year) will not be considered.

Affiliation:

It is strongly recommended that applicants identify appropriate host institutions for their projects and that they include affiliation letters with their Fulbright applications. If necessary, U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh will assist in facilitating affiliations for candidates who have been officially awarded grants.

Specific considerations:

Grantees are reminded to observe all security, safety, and health practices appropriate for Southeast Asia, including malaria prevention. As in all developing countries, the Fulbright grantee should not expect sophisticated equipment or apartments with American standards of comfort. Living conditions outside of urban areas tend to be harsh and without plumbing and electricity. Housing availability can be limited, although the situation in Phnom Penh, Siem Riep, and Battambong has improved in recent years. Use of libraries can be hampered by short hours, closed stacks, and limited circulation, although the Embassy can help to facilitate after-hours research, when needed.

Dependents:

No dependent support is available.

Artist

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program welcomes applications in the creative and performing arts.
