Events

The Thouron Award, started in 1960 to promote closer ties between the people of the UK and the United States, is among the most prestigious and generous academic scholarships in the world, giving young people of outstanding ability and open minds the means to study, travel and immerse themselves in the life of their host country. A diverse group of Scholars are chosen not only for their academic achievements, but for their ability to engage with one another and take an active part in a changing world. Each year, the Thouron Award is given to four to six graduating seniors, recent graduates, professional students, or graduate students from the University of Pennsylvania and covers full tuition and fees for up to two years at any degree-granting programme in the UK. To learn more about the Award and Application process, join us for our upcoming info session.

The Goldwater Foundation awards undergraduate scholarships to sophomores and juniors who have outstanding potential, an exceptional academic record with research experience, and intend to earn a PhD or Master's degree in a STEM field pursuing a research career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. Each scholarship provides up to a maximum of $7,500 annually for up to two years of undergraduate study.
