There are many opportunities to earn a graduate degree in a university outside the United States although financial support may not be available. Students often become familiar with foreign institutions when they study abroad as undergraduates or prepare applications for one of the major scholarship programs that support graduate study abroad. The latter include the Gates and Churchill Scholarships to Cambridge University, the Rhodes to Oxford, the Marshall to any British university and the Mitchell Scholarship to any university in Ireland. Rotary and Fulbright Scholarships have a much wider geographic application in the world of education.
