FAQ - Moroccan Candidates

If you have been chosen for a grant as a Moroccan citizen, questions may be addressed directly to MACECE at the following email address: info@macece.ma

  • Does MACECE choose the university I will go to?

After you're approved for a grant, your file is forwarded to AMIDEAST, which is in charge of finding a suitable university.

  • What if I am already accepted at a university in the US?

Do mention it in your application and send supporting documentation. However, there is no guarantee that you will be sent to that university.

  • Does it matter what year I got my undergraduate degree?

For regular Fulbright programs it doesn't matter what year the degree was received.  For other programs please contact us for detailed information.

  • Does it matter what field my degree or research is in?

Although the US university system is very flexible, you must show that you will be competent in the field you choose to study in if it is different from the degree or research field that you are already in.

MACECE does not give grants to medical, pharmacy or dental school students.

  • What is the amount of the scholarship?

This varies depending on university tuition, airfare and other costs.
