There are three types of Fulbright Grants to Romania.

7 FULBRIGHT GRANTS/ROMANIAN GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Language A knowledge of spoken and written Romanian commensurate with the proposal is required by the beginning date of the grant. English, followed by French, are useful second languages throughout Romania. German and Hungarian are useful in Transylvania and Banat, especially at the universities in Cluj-Napoca and Timisoara.

Grant period
8 months, beginning with a two-day orientation session at the end of September in Bucharest. Attendance at the orientation session is highly recommended.

Candidate profile
Candidates at all degree levels are considered, but preference is given to advanced graduate students who plan to carry out individual research and study.

Affiliation
Applicants are encouraged to arrange affiliation and submit letters of invitation. This step is recommended, but not required. If an invitation is not available, applicants may indicate preferences for affiliation. Grantees do not attend regularly scheduled university classes. Library research offers good opportunities, especially for candidates who read Romanian.

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