Fulbright UK Summer Institutes Info Session

The Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are three or four week programs for US undergraduate students. Participants can explore the culture, heritage and history of the UK while experiencing higher education at a UK university. There are several UK Summer Institutes available every year. Each Institute is hosted by a different university, and each focuses on a specific historical or cultural context, or a subject or topic. You do not need to be familiar with these to apply and are encouraged to explore your interests.

The Institute costs covered by the Fulbright Commission and its partner institutions include:

• Roundtrip US-UK airfare
• Tuition and fees at the host institution
• Accommodation
• In some cases, a small daily allowance for meals

NCA Director Dr. Jenny Hyest will discuss award eligibility and benefits, application tips, and the application processes.
