Overview

Build bridges of culture and knowledge through research!

The Fulbright U.S. Student Research Program provides grants for individually tailored study or research projects across nearly all fields, including sciences, professional disciplines, and the creative and performing arts.

Fulbright grantees to Jordan engage in meaningful cultural exchange while expanding their academic or professional expertise, collaborating with Jordanian researchers and experts, and building enduring personal and professional relationships. These connections not only advance their work but also strengthen ties and build bridges between the U.S. and Jordan.
