Sutton Trust Fulbright US Programme
Applications for the 2026 programme are now open!
As a refresher, the Sutton Trust Fulbright US Programme is designed to support students from state schools across the UK in S5 in Scotland, Year 12 in England and Wales and Year 13 in Northern Ireland to explore US study and access leading universities. It includes several in-person residentials where students can meet other like-minded people and have a taste of university life.
An optional second year of the programme supports students to apply to US universities alongside their UCAS options. In the past near-fifteen years, we have helped more than 700 British students get places and funding worth over a combined $200 million at top US universities.
The programme is free to take part in.
The programme is founded and funded by the Sutton Trust, the UK’s leading social mobility charity, and delivered in partnership with the Fulbright Commission, who are experts in helping UK students study in the US.
Applications accepted until 11 January 2026
The Sutton Trust also runs multiple UK-based summer schools that your students may be interested in. You can find more information here.
