Fulbright Awards

Fulbright Awards are available for US citizens to fund their first year of a master's or doctorate degree or to pursue research at an educational institution within the UK.

The awards cover tuition fees, a maintenance stipend and accident and sickness insurance for one academic year, usually beginning in mid-late September (approximately nine months).

(Please note: in the UK, master's degree programmes are typically one year long, and PhD study is typically three years long.)
