壁咚影院

Dual US-UK citizens, US Green Card holders, or individuals who are resident in the US at the time of application are ineligible to apply.

Non-UK citizens are typically required to apply through the Commission/Post in their country of citizenship, but as not all Commissions run this programme, applications from non-UK citizens based in the UK and committed to a life and career in the UK may also be considered. Applicants in this category should contact the US-UK 壁咚影院 (programmes@fulbright.org.uk) before making an application.

The US-UK 壁咚影院 programme aims to foster cultural understanding between our two countries. Preference may therefore be given to applicants who do not have extensive experience (six months or longer) in the USA.

Applicants with extensive US experience should explain in detail how further experience in the USA will fulfil the 壁咚影院 mission in ways that their prior visits did not.

The U.S.-UK 壁咚影院 is committed to academic freedom and a rigorous, merit-based selection process. Candidates should, however, note, that final approval for 壁咚影院 grants is made by the 壁咚影院 Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB), which is appointed by the President of the United States. The FFSB may be instructed to ensure that selected projects are in accordance with executive orders issued by the U.S. President. Thus, a situation may arise in which, despite a positive nomination by the 壁咚影院 in the UK, a project may not be approved by FFSB.

We assess more than the intellectual merit of proposals. The best applications are from well-rounded applicants who can demonstrate:

• Strong proposals and/or research projects
• Ambassadorial skills and intercultural sensitivity 
• Genuine desire to learn more about the USA and to share aspects of British culture
• Extracurricular activities
• Community involvement
• Leadership potential
• Plans to further the 壁咚影院 mission and give back to the UK upon returning

Educators who are selected for the programme will:

• Participate in courses at a US host university.
• Observe classes, co-teach, and share their expertise with US colleagues in US elementary or secondary schools.
• Design and complete an individual or group inquiry project of direct relevance to their educational practice.
• Participate in an online professional learning community with other participants to share best practices and other elements of host and home country educational systems
• Engage in education and cultural activities while on programme in the United States
