Fulbright US Student Program 2027 - 160+ Countries
The Fulbright US Student Program sends more than 2,000 Americans abroad every year to study, research or teach English, across more than 140 countries and with opportunities in over 160 countries and territories. Funded by the US Government, administered by IIE under the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, it covers round-trip travel, a living stipend set against the host country's cost of living, and accident and sickness health benefits. The 2027-2028 competition is open and the national deadline is 6 October 2026 at 5pm Eastern. If you are enrolled at a US college you cannot use that date: you apply through your campus Fulbright Program Adviser on an institutional deadline that typically falls four to six weeks earlier, with a campus interview and a chance to revise before submission.
Public Service Scholarships 2026 - 100% Tuition at SAIS
Johns Hopkins SAIS runs two Public Service awards on its Washington DC campus, and they are aimed at very different people. Public Service Fellows are students entering the Master of Arts in International Relations who want a career in public service; they receive a 100% tuition scholarship in year one, renewable for a second year on full-time enrolment and a 3.4 GPA. Public Service Scholars are mid-career professionals entering the Master of International Public Policy who have already worked in public service and intend to go back to it; they receive 50% of tuition. Citizens of any country can apply, both tracks are Fall entry only, and preference goes to candidates who can demonstrate financial need. There is no separate scholarship form. You tick two boxes on the degree application, one for institutional aid and one for the Public Service Award, by the 1 November early round or the January regular round.
Five Rings Quantitative Internship 2027 - 9 Paid Weeks
The Five Rings Summer Intern 2027 Quantitative Trader programme is a nine-week paid internship in New York, running from the beginning of June to the beginning of August 2027. Five Rings lists the annual base salary at $300,000, which works out at roughly $52,000 across the nine weeks, and adds a sign-on bonus and corporate housing on top. Interns work with the trading team on research and development projects, mentored by full-time traders, alongside classroom instruction, in-house strategy games, mock trading and a series of talks on core trading concepts. The eligibility bar is narrow on timing and wide on geography: you need to graduate in winter 2027 or spring or summer 2028, and Five Rings states directly that students outside the US are eligible to apply even though the internship runs in New York.
