At UUKi, we are delighted to be working with the Thouron Award for a fourth year to promote the generous scholarship opportunity it provides in the US for British graduates. Full funding is available for up to 10 British graduates of UK universities to study at one of the 12 graduate schools at the prestigious University of Pennysylvania. The Thouron Award pays full tuition fees and health insurance for up to two years of postgraduate study as well as an annual stipend to cover living costs, entertainment and travel. For 2022-23, the stipend will be $44,520. Graduates join an active alumni network of over 700 around the world.


How students can apply
The deadline for applications is 1 November 2022, for study starting in the autumn of 2023. For more information on the Award and the application process, please see: https://www.thouronaward.org/apply-from-uk/. It is recommended that students look into the application process early, to ensure time to research the programme they wish to study at the University of Pennsylvania and prepare the relevant materials. You can contact the Thouron team at info@thouronaward.org if you have any questions about the Award or application process.

History of the Award
The programme was established in 1960 by Sir John Thouron and his American wife, Lady Thouron, to promote closer ties between the people of the United Kingdom and the United States. It now boasts an active alumni network of over 700 around the world. Scholars are chosen for both their academic achievements and their ability to engage with the world and one another.
