Sarah,I strongly recommend you apply to the Fulbright program. This is an exchange program that is set up through bi-lateral treaties between the US and another country, and funds the exchange of students, scientists and artists. There is a Fulbright USA-UK. The program was initiated by senator William J. Fulbright as a parallel to the Marshall plan. After WWII, the Marshall plan provided food to devastated Europe. Senator Fulbright thought the exchange of scientists and artists will allow for a better understanding among the US and other countries. In a way, food for the intellect.It is a competitive program, but it's worth every ounce of effort to get in.As you are a US citizen, I suggest to check http://fulbright.state.gov/ Advice offered by a fellow Fulbrighter (Spain-USA) Sarah Sarah Frias-Torres, Ph.D. Marine Conservation Biologist Ocean Research & Conservation Association 1420 Seaway Drive, 2nd Floor Fort Pierce, Florida 34949 USA www.oceanrecon.org
