This unique Fulbright program was created in 1991 to permit junior teaching faculty pursuing doctoral degrees at Moroccan universities to benefit from the co-supervision of an American professor and the research facilities available at the U.S. host institution. The grant covers up to three visits to the U.S. with a maximum total of twelve months stipend to be used within a four year period.
