Fulbright Awards are available for US citizens to fund their first year of a master's or doctorate degree or to pursue research at an educational institution within the UK.
The awards cover tuition fees, a maintenance stipend and accident and sickness insurance for one academic year, usually beginning in mid-late September (approximately nine months).
In the Fulbright Open Award category (also known as the All-Disciplines award), approximately five awards will be offered to US citizens for the first year of master's or PhD study in any subject, at any accredited UK university, or to conduct a period of independent research with a UK institution. (Please note: in the UK, master's degree programmes are typically one year long, and PhD study is typically three years long.)
