About the US-UK Fulbright Commission
The US-UK Fulbright Commission works to advance knowledge, promote civic engagement and develop compassionate leaders through education exchange between the peoples of the US and the UK. It is the only academic awards programme that operates on both sides of the Atlantic, providing grants for postgraduate study, research and teaching. Since 1948, thousands of British and American citizens have participated in our programmes, enriching their educations, developing relationships, advancing their careers and making a difference in their communities, at home and abroad.
Through the US-UK Fulbright Commission’s Summer Institutes, American undergraduates with little or no experience abroad have the opportunity to participate in themed summer schools across the Atlantic, and in partnership with the Sutton Trust, the Commission delivers the Sutton Trust US Programme for high-achieving, low-income UK secondary school students to explore US higher education. As part of the global EducationUSA network, the Fulbright Commission offers UK students free, comprehensive and impartial information about applying to study at accredited universities in the US.
