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.

I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
