Preference is given to strong applicants who do not have extensive experience outside the US. Applicants who have spent more than four weeks outside of the US/North America in the last five years would not be eligible. Strong preference is given to applicants who have never been to the UK.
What topic do you study?
That depends on the specific summer institute that you apply to. Here are some of the options from past institutes: Queen’s University Belfast: Understanding Ireland, Northern Perspectives; Scotland (Glasgow School of Art and University of Strathclyde): Technology, Innovation, and Creativity; University of Bristol: Arts, Activism, and Social Justice
What does, "otherwise demonstrated academic achievement" actually mean?
This could mean that your overall GPA is less than 3.7, but that you have demonstrated an upward trend in your GPA over time, for example.
Can you apply during your sophomore year to use the scholarship in the summer between your sophomore and junior year?
Yes, this is allowed.
