Summer Study Scholarships in Britain

The Kentucky Branch of The English-Speaking Union will award a limited number of scholarships to qualified Kentucky college students and Kentucky high school teachers for courses offered at institutions in the United Kingdom in the summer of 2010.  Scholarship awards will include tuition, lodging and two meals daily for three-week courses at the institutions chosen by the scholarship winners.  Scholarships also include one week’s lodging in London and a cash allowance which may or may not cover the costs of travel and incidentals, (in 2009, the allowance was $1,800). 

Scholarship awards are made by the Kentucky Branch’s Scholarship Committee after reviews of information submitted by the applicants and interviews with the finalists. 

The institutions named below have websites which describe the courses offered.  Download page with web links  Not all the institutions have updated their websites for the summer of 2010, but often the institutions offer similar courses from year to year, so the courses taught in 2010 will likely resemble those taught in 2009.  Therefore, your study choices and preliminary essays can be based upon what is now on the web.
