British Universities Transatlantic Exchange Association (BUTEX) Scholarships

Website: BUTEX

Description

Each year BUTEX awards a number of scholarships to students studying abroad for either a semester or for a whole academic year. This includes students planning to study abroad in the UK and vice versa.

BUTEX scholarships are based on a calendar year and not the academic year. Students that have a placement that will take place across two calendar years will be able to apply in each year, but please note individuals can only win a BUTEX scholarship once.

The value of each scholarship is £500 and will be paid to the winners once they have arrived and registered at their host university.

BUTEX will also make a special award in honour of our late Treasurer, the Tony Emmerson Award. This scholarship will be awarded in the event of an American Studies student being successful in the competition. This award will also be for £500.

Eligibility

The Scholarship is open to all undergraduate students who are affiliated to a BUTEX Full Member institution. You may be affiliated as an incoming or an outgoing study abroad student.

If you are not sure whether either your home or your host institution are BUTEX-affiliated, please check our list of BUTEX members. Many UK universities are members (though not Oxford or Cambridge).

To be eligible to apply:

  • You must have been offered, currently undertaking or already completed, a study abroad or exchange placement or a work/internship/traineeship placement
  • Your study abroad, exchange or work placement takes place in the calendar year in which you apply.
  • Your placement must be for either one semester or one year if it is a study abroad experience.
  • Work, Internship or Traineeship placements must be overseas and do not need to be a specific length of time.
  • You must be enrolled in your undergraduate course when you apply for, and receive a scholarship. Once students graduate they are not eligible to receive a scholarship.
