FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS

Grant period Grant duration is 10 months.  Most grantees choose to begin in the fall but the start date is flexible.  Grants may begin as early as August.  The last possible start date is March 30th.

Affiliation Applicants are responsible for arranging their own affiliations with an academic institution, research facility, or another appropriate organization, and for submitting supporting documentation. Affiliations with the University of West Indies (UWI) are preferred; applicants are expected to make contact with a professor in the appropriate department who will support their research and/or study.

Tuition UWI waives the tuition fee for Fulbright grantees attending UWI. The grantee is required to complete the UWI application form. The U.S. Embassy in Kingston will assist grantees with finalizing arrangements.

Specific program/country considerations (1) Accommodation may be available at UWI only if the student is planning to be a full-time student at UWI for the academic year. Inquiries need to be made at the time of application to UWI. (2) When designing projects, applicants should be aware that street crime at night is a concern in urban areas, and projects that compromise safety are not advised.

Dependents The basic amount of the Fulbright grant is increased by US$100 per month for grantees with one accompanying dependent and US$200 per month for two or more accompanying dependents
