Summer Institutes in the United Kingdom
(Study Abroad Scholarship)
The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers special Summer Institutes for US citizens to study in the
UK. These summer programs provide the opportunity for US undergraduates to travel to the UK on a
three, four, five or six week academic and cultural summer program. (Eligibility: US citizen, 18 years
or older, 3.5 GPA, at least two years of undergraduate study left to complete)
Participants in these programs will experience an exciting academic program at a highly regarded UK
University, explore the culture, heritage and history of the UK and develop their academic ability by
improving presentation, research and communication skills.
“It was literally the best summer of my life so far...I am so thankful for this experience and hope that it
continues to grow and expand so that more students can participate!”- 2012 Participant
