Fulbright/University of Kent UKA Award

The Fulbright University of Kent UKA Award covers the first year of any master's or doctoral degree programme offered by the University of Kent. The award is co-sponsored by the University and the University of Kent in America (UKA). This prestigious award provides U.S. students with the opportunity to pursue advanced graduate study at one of the UK's leading research universities. Kent is known for its teaching excellence and interdisciplinary nature of its programmes and research, offering both taught Master's and research PhD options across the arts and humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Recipients become part of a vibrant exchange opportunity that has weaved strong bonds between the UK and the US since 1948, with access to over 160 universities across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The award provides comprehensive financial support including full tuition waiver for the first year, a living stipend based on UK Research and Innovation's minimum amounts for studentship stipends, international travel benefits, and health coverage. All University of Kent and UKA Award scholars are recognized as alumni by the UKA and are welcome to participate in local chapters when Fulbright scholars return stateside.
