Fulbright/University of Exeter Award

The Fulbright University of Exeter Award covers the first year of a taught master's or research degree offered by the University of Exeter. This partnership award provides funding for U.S. citizens to pursue graduate studies at one of the UK's leading research-intensive universities, ranked within the world's top 100 in nine research areas. The University of Exeter combines world class research with excellent student satisfaction at its campuses in Exeter and Cornwall, and is a member of the Russell Group. The award is part of the broader Fulbright U.S. Student Program, which has fostered exchange between the UK and the US since 1948. Recipients engage in rigorous academic work while immersing themselves in UK culture and communities across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The grant supports a 10-month period starting in the fall, with tuition waived for the entire first year of study. The Commission seeks applicants who demonstrate scholarly excellence, strong reasons for pursuing their project in the UK, commitment to engaging with the host country community, and flexibility in adapting to new cultural environments.
