A grant proposal is a request for funding for a research project. Students will write a sample grant proposal, following the template provided by
Fulbright to one of the following countries: Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, United Arab Emirates. The directions, taken from
the below webpage, are:
“Statement of Grant Purpose: This 2-page document outlines the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of what you are proposing for your

field of study. The proposal should indicate a clear commitment to and description of how you will engage with the host country community.”
