Graduate Mobility

The OSUN Graduate Research Mobility Program can help fund research projects that are carried out as part of a Master’s or PhD program. Graduate students (Masters and Doctoral level) enrolled at any of the OSUN member institutions are eligible to apply. To help cover the cost of travel and visa expenses, mandatory insurance, accommodations and living stipend for the duration of the research visit (30-120 days), a combination of merit- and need-based scholarships that range from 500 to 6,000 USD are available. Students are required to submit a detailed budget proposal as part of their application.  
 
The destination of the research mobility can be any OSUN member institution, with clear identification of the resources at the institution, including academic materials, faculty experts, and/or community partners relevant to the subject of research being conducted. 

The current pilot phase is open to graduate students (Masters and Doctoral level) enrolled at the following OSUN partner institutions:

American University of Central Asia, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan  
Bard College, New York, US

Successful applicants will receive a tuition waiver at their host institution and will continue to pay tuition at their home institution. A combination of merit- and need-based scholarships are available to eligible students.
