Fulbright/University of Sussex Award

The Fulbright University of Sussex Award covers the first year of a taught master's or research degree offered by the university. The University of Sussex is a leading research-intensive university, which broadens its students' perspectives. Home to 18,000 students, it welcomes you to a diverse, welcoming community with a distinctive and rich history. Sussex is ranked 1st in the world for Development Studies and is in the top 70 globally for Social Sciences. The program provides a 10-month grant period with full tuition waiver for the first year, a living stipend, and travel support. The Sussex campus has one of the most beautiful locations in Britain, situated in rolling parkland just nine minutes from Brighton, an hour from London, and 30 minutes from an international airport. The Commission seeks applicants who demonstrate rigor in scholarly enquiry, strong reasons for pursuing the proposed project in the UK, a desire to gain a better understanding of the peoples and cultures of their host country, commitment to community through volunteer activities, and the flexibility necessary for active involvement in the host country.
