The Fulbright - Edinburgh Napier University Scholar Award

The Fulbright Edinburgh Napier University Award is a prestigious fellowship offered to one US Scholar to pursue research in nursing at Edinburgh Napier University. The award covers a three-to-nine month research project in nursing at the university. The grant amount is £2,500 per month, intended as a contribution towards US-UK travel, institutional fees, accommodation, and general maintenance costs while in the UK. Recipients are expected to form long-term links between their home and host institutions. The award is highly competitive and prestigious in the U.S., with assessment criteria going beyond intellectual merit to include ambassadorial skills, intercultural sensitivity, genuine desire to learn about the UK and share American culture, extracurricular activities, community involvement, leadership potential, and plans to further the Fulbright mission upon returning to the US. Preference is given to proposals that involve community or outreach work.
