The Franco-American Fulbright Commission launched its 2021 call for projects. It supports study and research projects of French students, PhD students and researchers. It offers about 100 scholarships per year to French candidates, funded by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the U.S. Department of State, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, some Regional Councils, private foundations, and partner universities.
Applications must be submitted by February 1, 2021 for a departure expected between August 1, 2021 and May 1, 2022. The level of funding depends on the program and the length of the stay, which can vary from 1 to 12 months: the researchers’ stays will last from 3 to 6 months while PhD’s may extend from 4 to 12 months.
