Other Funding Opportunities for the United Kingdom

Consider the Fulbright U.S. Student Program Open Study/Research or university partnership awards for the United Kingdom. These two fellowship programs are similarly competitive and both looking to support student leaders with cross-cultural exchange opportunities. Fulbright will support one academic year of graduate study, though in a Fulbright application, your application will focus on only one British university.

Depending on your listing of your top choice graduate programs, you might also consider the Gates Cambridge Scholarship (for Cambridge University), the Marshall Scholarship (for any UK university), the Rhodes Scholarship (for Oxford University), and the Mitchell Scholarship (for Irish universities).
