FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS Language Proficiency in French is required at the time of application. Hausa or another local language of the area in which research will take place is useful. Research candidates are required to provide a synopsis in French of their proposals with their applications.
Grant period 10 months. Fulbright grants will begin between August 2010 and March 2011, subject to the approval of the U.S. Embassy in Niamey.
Affiliation It is the applicant’s responsibility to secure affiliation with an educational or research institution. It is strongly recommended that applicants identify appropriate host institutions for their projects and that they include affiliation letters with their Fulbright applications.
Special considerations Security precautions are necessary when traveling to remote areas of Niger. The U.S. Embassy provides advice on special security considerations.
