Description
The Belgian American Educational Foundation (BAEF) offers fellowships for advanced study or research during the 2027–2028 academic year at Belgian universities, institutions of higher learning, and research institutions. The program supports graduate education and research, including Master’s, Ph.D., and equivalent professional degree programs, research relevant to an ongoing U.S. graduate degree, and research after completion of a graduate qualification.
These individual, non-renewable fellowships form part of BAEF’s educational exchange program between Belgium and the United States. The Foundation seeks to foster mutual respect and appreciation between the two countries through higher education, with particular emphasis on younger talent and individuals with low seniority at their academic level. Both graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are supported.
