Scholarships for US Students Studying in the UK?

I'm looking into studying in the UK, but I'm concerned about the cost. Do you know of any scholarships available for US students heading to the UK? Ideally, I'm interested in ones that aren't widely known.

Sure, I'm glad to hear that you are considering studying in the UK! Below are a few scholarships that are available to US students studying in the UK:

1. The Marshall Scholarship: This scholarship is awarded to highly accomplished US students and covers the cost of studying for a graduate degree in any field at an institution in the UK. It is awarded on the basis of academic merit and provides actual tuition fees plus an annual stipend.

2. The Gates Cambridge Scholarship: Supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, this scholarship allows US students to pursue postgraduate study in any field at the University of Cambridge. It covers tuition, maintenance allowance, travel costs, etc.

3. The US-UK Fulbright Commission: This group provides awards for postgraduate study and allows for research across all disciplines, to support US students in the UK. This one is a bit more well-known, but it's still worth mentioning.

4. Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships: This is an example of a program that offers students scholarships to study in another country. The amount of the scholarship depends on the particular Rotary club or district that sponsors the scholarship.

Remember, every year there are thousands of scholarships that go unclaimed - don't be afraid to apply to smaller, lesser-known scholarships, as these can often add up and might have less competition!

In terms of application, do check the eligibility criteria and deadlines for each scholarship. The funding covers different aspects like tuition, living allowance, travel expense, etc., and varies for each scholarship. These scholarships and grants can significantly decrease the cost of studying abroad. Good luck!
