The American Embassy announces the opening of the competition for
the Fulbright Research Program for academic year 2005-2006. The
Fulbright exchange program aims at increasing mutual understanding
between the U.S. and Lebanon, and as such is an important component
of the strong people-to-people ties that have always characterized
our bilateral relations.
The general description of the Fulbright grants, selection procedure,
and criteria for selection follows. We would note at the outset
that applicants must indicate the time period necessary to complete
their proposed activities. Also, Fulbright grants do not cover dependent
travel costs.
