The Chateaubriand Fellowship is a grant offered by the Embassy of France in the United States. It supports outstanding Ph.D. students from American universities who wish to conduct research in France for a period ranging from 4 to 9 months. Chateaubriand fellows are selected through a merit-based competition, through a collaborative process involving expert evaluators in both countries. The program is divided into two subprograms:

1. The Chateaubriand Fellowship in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Biology-Health (STEM)

2. The Chateaubriand Fellowship in Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) .

US Citizenship is not required to apply for a Chateaubriand Fellowship. However, you must be enrolled in a PhD program in an American university.  Learn more here.
