  • Information Session on Summer Study in the U.K.

    LEARN HOW TO APPLY TO THE FULBRIGHT UKSI PROGRAM ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH, 12:15 - 1:15 pm in ROWE 420

    The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers special Summer Institutes for US citizens to come to the UK.  These summer programs provide the opportunity for US undergraduates (aged over 18) in all fields of study, with at least two years of undergraduate study left to complete, to come to the UK on a three, four, five or six week academic and cultural summer program.

    Application Deadline is February 23 or February 26, 2016 (depending on chosen program).

    There are nine Summer Programs available for US students in 2016:

    To meet the minimum eligibility, applicants must:

    • be a US citizen (resident anywhere except the UK) and possess a US passport;
    • be at least 18 years old;
    • have a high level of academic achievement with a minimum GPA of 3.7 (confirmed by academic marks, awards and references);
    • have completed no more than two years of university study; i.e. applicants should currently be a Freshman or Sophomore in college/university;
    • be mature, responsible, independent, and open-minded;

     The Summer Institutes will cover the majority of participant costs.  This includes round-trip airfare from the US to the UK, tuition and fees at the host university/institution, accommodation and meals and in some cases a small daily allowance.
