Funding for postgraduate studies at Keele University for North American students

 

Tuition Fee Bursaries

All American and Canadian students will be eligible for a 10% bursary towards the overseas rate of tuition for the course for which they are applying. In addition, all students graduating from one of our 30 North American partners (see list below) will be eligible for a further 15% bursary. Finally, if a previous exchange student from one of the partner universities decides to come back to Keele for graduate study, they will be eligible for a 50% bursary. This means that for 2012/3 tuition could be approx. £5000 - £5,900 (approx. US$ 8,100 - $9,600/Can$ 7,850 - $9250) for a returning exchange student.


NAFKU Scholarship

In addition, each year  American and Canadian students will be able to compete for the NAFKU scholarship (North American Foundation Keele University). This will provide US$4,000 (approximately £2,500) towards living costs at Keele. Final Selection will be by members of the NAFKU Board. All North American students who are offered a place at Keele will automatically be sent an application form.

Applications are via Fulbright – see http://www.fulbright.co.uk/fulbright-awards/for-us-citizens for information about how to apply and application deadlines. The online application is facilitated by IIE and is used by Fulbright Commissions worldwide.

One Keele Marshall Scholarship, whereby Keele pays the tuition fees and the Marshall Commission the maintenance costs. Applications are via Marshall – see http://www.marshallscholarship.org/about/ Deadline for applications is likely October for entry the following September.  Applications must be endorsed by the President, Provost, or Academic Dean of the applicant's educational institution (or employer). The online application must be submitted and authorised by a designated member of staff at the applicant's educational institution (or employer). NB: The US institution may have earlier deadlines for submission of applications. Whether this is the case or not applications must be submitted in a timely manner in order for the US institution to be able to authorise it for submission by the deadline.
