ELIGIBILITY

• Must be U.S. citizen at the time of application and hold a bachelor's degree or the equivalent by the beginning of the grant. 
• For research proposals: a project that is solidly grounded in undergraduate training and is aimed at laying the foundation for further advanced work in a graduate program.
• For Fulbright teaching assistantships: willingness to work with a local co-teacher to teach English in secondary schools while also carrying out a limited program of research and/or language training related to the host country.
• Knowledge of host country and rationale for placement
• GPA 3.4 or higher

DETAILS

The U.S. Student Program awards approximately 1,000 grants annually and currently operates in over 140 countries worldwide. Fulbright full grants generally provide funding for round-trip travel, maintenance for one academic year, health and accident insurance and full or partial tuition, when appropriate. Fulbright travel-only grants are also available to limited countries.

The Fulbright program also provides teaching grants overseas to new graduates that are like typical Fulbright fellowships but require half-time English teaching in a wide variety of countries around the world. Applicants for “English Teaching Assistant” Fulbrights propose to spend the other half of their time learning about the country in which they are placed. These assignments require ability to teach English and work with secondary school students essential as assistants to regular local English faculty, and an outline of a subject of study. 

DEADLINE AND APPLICATION

Visit the Fulbright Program website for detailed application information.

Campus deadline for application materials is September 20 of the senior year. In order to apply, juniors (rising seniors) must submit a one-page preliminary project statement to Jason Johnson by June 1.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for the Marshall Scholarship, candidates must:

• be citizens of the United States of America (at the time they apply for a scholarship);
• (by the time they take up their scholarship) hold their first undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States;
• have obtained a grade point average of not less than 3.7 (or A-) on their undergraduate degree. (Exceptions will be considered only on the specific recommendation of the sponsoring college.)
• have graduated from their first undergraduate college or university after April 2015.
• not have studied for, or hold a degree or degree-equivalent qualification from a British University.

DETAILS

In appointing Scholars the selectors will look for candidates who have the potential to excel as scholars, as leaders and as contributors to improved UK-US understanding. Assessment will be based on academic merit, leadership potential and ambassadorial potential.

The selection criteria are divided into three equally weighted categories:

• Academic Merit
• Leadership Potential
• Ambassadorial Potential

The one year Marshall Scholarship is aimed at applicants who have strong reasons for wishing to study in the UK, but have a clear post-scholarship plan that would mean a one year Scholarship would work better for them than the two year Marshall Scholarship.  Candidates are only allowed to apply for either the one year or the two year Marshall Scholarship. Any candidate found applying for both will automatically be disqualified.

Before completing the application candidates are advised to consider the objectives of the Marshall Scholarship Programme (see opening paragraph of the Rules for Candidates); the evaluation Criteria and to be aware that the selection committees are seeking candidates who have the potential to excel as scholars, leaders and as contributors to improved UK-US understanding.

DEADLINES AND APPLICATION

• To apply, you must create an account.
• Candidates may apply in one region only - either that in which they have their permanent home address or ordinary place of residence/employment, or that in which they are studying.
• Interested students must meet with the Institutional Representative no later than March 15 of their junior year.
• Although the final application deadline is in early October, students must adhere to a strict timetable to receive the required institutional endorsement from Trinity.
