Are you interested in learning more about postgraduate study opportunities in the United Kingdom?

If so, join UConn’s Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships for our upcoming information session about five highly competitive scholarships:

• Gates Cambridge Scholarship
• Rhodes Scholarship
• Marshall Scholarship
• Churchill Scholarship
• Fulbright UK

All of these scholarship opportunities are open to rising seniors and recent graduates and fund one, two, or three years of study.  All but the Churchill (which is geared toward STEM candidates or STEM majors interested in science policy) are open to students in any academic discipline.

The session will provide information about eligibility requirements, focus of the scholarships, details of the campus application process (including deadlines), and what makes a competitive candidate.

Pre-applications for some of these awards are due to ONSF soon, so now is the time to begin planning.

RSVP/Registration available, but not required. If you need accommodations to attend this event, or if you have other questions, contact Vin Moscardelli (vin.moscardelli@uconn.edu), Director of UConn’s Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships.
