3 FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS
Language A working knowledge of Croatian is helpful. Local language schools and institutes offer courses in Croatian language and culture.
Grant period 9 months, October through June.
Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels are considered, but Ph.D. candidates who present serious study projects and are capable of independent study are preferred. Applications will be accepted in all fields. However, priority will be given to candidates in communications, economics/business administration, history, law, political science, and sociology.
Affiliation Grantees are responsible for securing a letter confirming affiliation at one of the Croatian universities. Affiliation confirmation should be included in the application package.
Visa requirements First Residence Permit: The Croatian government passed a new law for foreigners similar to residency and entry laws for European Union member states. The law stipulates that foreign citizens planning to stay in Croatia longer than 90 days must apply for the First Residence Permit (for a period covering their entire stay in Croatia). For detailed instructions on the procedure and required documents please refer to the Handbook for Fulbright Grantees in Croatia which will be provided to all grantees
Specific country considerations Applicants should be aware that by Croatian law the following are automatically considered Croatian citizens: any person with dual citizenship (Croatian and American); any person born in Croatia; and any person born in the U.S. of Croatian parents (both of whom must be Croatian citizens) and registered as a Croatian citizen by the age of 18. In all cases, and in all cases where dual nationals encounter difficulties, the ability of the U.S. Embassy to provide assistance is quite limited.
Housing The Croatian government provides a local currency contribution toward the cost of housing.
Dependents The basic amount of the Fulbright grant is increased by $100 per month for grantees with one accompanying dependent and by $200 for grantees with two or more accompanying dependents.
