The US-UK Fulbright Commission has opened applications for the UK Summer Institute Award Programmes for US Citizens!
Help us identify qualified students to apply for this opportunity.
Each Programme varies in duration, from three to six weeks, and offers students a fantastic opportunity for first and second year American university students to be immersed in the study of British academia and culture. Students will take part in cultural events, research, collaboration, and presentation at an esteemed British University.
Students from all areas of study are encouraged to apply. We offer nine Summer Institutes, each of which will cover a different theme. These institutes include:
To meet the minimum eligibility, applicants must:
