FULBRIGHT ALUMNI DEVELOPMENT GRANT (ADG)
I am a Fulbright Scholar alum from the Middle East and North Africa region, can I apply to the ADG?
No, only alumni from the Fulbright Foreign Student Program for the Middle East and North Africa are eligible. Only Fulbright alumni whose grant was administered by AMDEAST are eligible to apply.
I am an FLTA alum from the Middle East and North Africa region, can I apply to the ADG?
No, only alumni from the Fulbright Foreign Student Program for the Middle East and North Africa are eligible. Only Fulbright alumni whose grant was administered by AMDEAST are eligible to apply.
How many times is this grant offered each year?
The Alumni Development Grant is offered twice a year, each year. The first competition opens in the spring for grant activities taking place from September to April and the second round opens in winter for grant activities taking place anytime from April until September.
I received an alumni development grant in the last two years, can I apply for another one this round?
You can apply for another ADG grant, but preference will be given to applicants who have never received a grant before.
Do I have to be living in my home country to be considered for this grant?
No, but preference will be given to applicants residing in one of the countries that Amideast has administered the Fulbright program, however many alumni are not able to reside in their home country. Amideast is fully aware of these conditions and will examine each application on a case-by--case basis. If you have had to relocate, this should not deter you from submitting a competitive application.
I would like to apply for an ADG however I have not fully completed my two-year home residency requirement, can I still apply?
All Amideast-Fulbright alumni are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to those who have two years of residence in their home country. But all applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
I would like to apply to attend a conference, but the dates of this event do not fall within the timeframe of this grant period. The conference dates are June 1-7 2019 and the ADG grant activity timeframe for this round is from September 2018 to April 2019. What should I do?
If your activity does not fall under the prescribed timeframe of the current open competition, you must wait until the next competition is open. To attend a conference in June 2019, you should apply for the next round of Alumni Development Grants.
Can I apply for an ADG while I am still on my Fulbright Grant if the activity I propose takes place after I finish my Fulbright grant in the U.S.?
No, you must already be a Fulbright alum to be eligible to apply for an ADG. You will have to wait until you have completed your Fulbright grant requirements before you can apply for an alumni grant.
