    Funding Uk
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the availability of National Science Foundation (NSF) programs that can fund U.S. citizens pursuing PhDs abroad, particularly in the UK. Participants note that while NSF typically does not provide full funding for entire degrees outside the U.S., there are various programs offering financial support for shorter durations, ranging from a few weeks to a full academic year. The conversation highlights the need for prospective students to explore specific NSF initiatives that may align with their research interests and study plans overseas.

Does anyone know of some NSF programs to fund US citizens to do PhDs in the UK or elsewhere outside the US?

I don't think NSF will completely fund students for an entire degree overseas but there are programs that will provide funding from a few weeks to an entire year.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
