Fulbright

I am the winner of the Bafta Fulbright Scholarship (academic year 2026-27) and I’m currently in New York City studying a Masters in filmmaking. Below are articles with advice on different elements of my Fulbright journey/application process.

All my advice is given as a UK student (specifically from Scotland) heading to the USA to study a filmmaking Masters. While my specific lens is the UK-to-US track, the Fulbright program operates all around the world. If you are a non-UK citizen, some of this information may be helpful. If you’re applying from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, I hope that these articles help you understand what Fulbright is and what the application process entails
