Here is one last reminder that applications for Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are due at the end of the month--23 and 26 February!
US-UK Fulbright Commission Summer Institutes provide a unique and enriching opportunity for US citizens with two years of university study left in university to study in the UK during the summer. Students will take part in cultural events, research, collaboration, and presentation at an esteemed British University. Students in all disciplines are encouraged to apply. The nine Summer Institutes this year cover a wide range of disciplines and varied regions of the United Kingdom.
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.
