The Chateaubriand Fellowship in Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) is offered by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy. The HSS program targets outstanding PhD students enrolled in U.S. institutions who seek to engage in research in France in any discipline of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The fellows will be able to engage in dissertation research and interact with a French mentor and scholars. Applicants must be currently working on their PhD and must be registered in an American university; US citizenship is not required; however, French citizens are not eligible. All HSS research topics are eligible. Applicants must obtain a letter of agreement from their research advisor(s) in the U.S., as well as a letter of invitation from a professor affiliated with a French university or research institution. Their US and French advisors must agree to co-supervise part of their thesis. Knowledge of French is not mandatory and is left to the discretion of the host institution.
