    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?

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
