Announcement: UK Fulbright Summer Institutes

Interested in studying in the UK for a summer? The US-UK Fulbright Commission offers special Summer Institutes for US citizens to come to the UK. These summer programmes provide the opportunity for US undergraduates (aged over 18), with at least two years of undergraduate study left to complete, to come to the UK on a three, four, five or six week academic and cultural summer programme. Programmes include: Shakespeare's Globe, Northern Borders of Empire to the Making of the Middle Ages (including a major archeological project), Britain Past and Present, Understanding Ireland: Northen Perspectives, Scotland: Identity, Culture, and Innovation, Slavery and the Atlantic Heritage, Issues in Climate Change, and Contemporary Wales. The Summer Institutes will cover the majority of participant costs. This includes round-trip airfare from the US to the UK, tuition and fees at the host university/institution, accommodation and meals and in some cases a small daily allowance. These programmes have a competitve application process, deadline: Feb 23 (note although this seems far away, it is best if you start early!).
