Overview
This award is named in honour of the great trans-Atlantic journalist and commentator, Alistair Cooke, and is given to one scholar each year seeking a Master's in Journalism or in a specialist subject leading to a career in Journalism (eg Area Studies) at any accredited US university. The recipient will work with the Fulbright Commission and the Institute of International Education (IIE) to find the right department for them.
Award Benefits
Grants are for a minimum of $25,000, paid in instalments directly to the grantee, the first of which is typically given just prior to departure from the UK. This funding is intended as a contribution towards the first year of tuition fees and general maintenance costs whilst in the US. University application and entrance exam fees, limited sickness and accident benefit coverage, visa sponsorship and processing and participation in a number of Fulbright Scholar events are also included.
The final award amount will depend on the choices the candidate makes during the university placement process and in the end she/he will choose from 4 or 5 award packages that will typically range from $25,000 to a fully-funded programme.
Selection Criteria
Minimum eligibility for this award category:
• UK citizen (resident anywhere)
• hold or expect to obtain a minimum 2:1 honours undergraduate degree or the equivalent prior to your anticipated enrolment with a US university
Preference will be given to those who do not have extensive, recent experience in the US (6 months) and to those with at least 1-2 years of relevant work experience. Please read the Terms and Conditions for this award before making an application.
In making these awards the Commission is looking not only for academic excellence but a focused application, a range of extracurricular and community activities, demonstrated ambassadorial skills, a desire to further the Fulbright Programme and a plan to give back to your home country upon returning.
