Fulbright Awards funding for UK students, academics and professionals: call for 2015-16 applications!

The US-UK Fulbright Commission is pleased to announce a call for applications for its 2015-16 Postgraduate and Scholar Awards. Fulbright Awards provide generous grants for study, research and teaching in the United States. All-disciplines awards provide funding for individuals to pursue any academic subject at any US higher education institution. The Commission also offers a variety of awards in specific subjects and at specific institutions in the US.

Postgraduate Awards typically offer a contribution towards tuition fees and living costs for one academic year. Scholar Awards typically provide a contribution towards any institutional fees, travel to/from the US, accommodation and general maintenance costs while in the USA. Successful grantees also receive a number of memberships, sickness and accident benefit coverage and visa sponsorship. There is substantial pre-departure support, including a Finalists' Workshop (March) and a 2-day Orientation Programme (July). Once on-the-ground in the US, further support is offered by the Institute for International Education (IIE) and the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars (CIES), including additional travel grant opportunities for scholars to accept guest lecturing invitations at other US institutions. After the grant period is over Fulbrighters have access to our vast US-UK alumni network and are given the opportunity to attend a range of social and cultural events in the UK.

New awards for 2015-16 include:

*         University of South Florida Awards for postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers
*         Executive Master of Public Administration Award at NYU-Wagner
*         Diamond Family Foundation Award for postgraduate study focused on the African continent
*         British Heart Foundation Scholar Award for research focused on cardiovascular disease
*         Nursten Postgraduate Award in Medical Studies named in memory of Dr Harry Nursten

The Commission is also delighted to welcome the return of the Robertson Visiting Professor in British History Award at Westminster College and to continue its award partnerships with a wide range of research charities, financial institutions and US university hosts.

Applications for 2015-16 Fulbright Awards are open until 5pm on 31 October 2014.
