FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS
Language English is the only language needed for research on most contemporary topics. However, a working knowledge of French is useful. French is needed to conduct historical research. Creole is useful for field studies.
Grant period 10 months. Fulbright grants will begin between August 2010 and March 2011, subject to the approval of the U.S. Embassy in Port Louis.
Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels will be considered. However the main host institution, which is, the University of Mauritius, requests that all U.S. Fulbright Scholars/Researchers possess a Ph.D.
Affiliation It is the applicant’s responsibility to secure affiliation with an appropriate host institution. It is strongly recommended that they identify appropriate host institutions for their projects and that they include affiliation letters with their Fulbright applications. Most research projects will be carried out in conjunction with the university. Candidates with an academic affiliation should contact the Dean of the Faculty to obtain clearance and/or clarification of the specific research area. While candidates may be able to take university coursework, independent research should be the primary grant activity.
General comments Preference is given to projects that directly support Mauritius and/or enhance Mauritian-U.S. relations.
Dependents The basic amount of the Fulbright grant is increased by US$200 per month for grantees with one accompanying dependent and by US$300 per month for two or more accompanying dependents.
