The US-UK Fulbright Awards scheme was set up in 1948 to enhance mutual understanding between the US and the UK. It was hoped that the awards would facilitate an exchange of ideas between the two nations and introduce its scholars to new cultures. This ethos is still very much alive in the Fulbright Awards Programme today.

NOTE: Projects in the UK must mean residency in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Orkneys, Shetlands, Isle of Man, Hebrides, and Channel Islands. No other territory of the UK is acceptable. Please contact the Commission with queries.
