British Universities Transatlantic Exchange Association (BUTEX) Scholarships

Website: BUTEX open_in_new

Eligibility

The Scholarship is open to all undergraduate students who are affiliated with 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.

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.

Each Butex scholarship is valued at £600. The award will be disbursed once the recipient has arrived and registered at their host university, or upon confirmation of a completed placement.

Additionally, Butex honours the memory of our late Treasurer with the Tony Emmerson Award, a special £600 scholarship presented to a successful American Studies student.
