About This Opportunity

The Marshall Scholarship is a prestigious postgraduate scholarship program that finances young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Established in 1953 as a living gift from the British people in gratitude for the generosity of the Marshall Plan, the scholarship aims to strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments, and their institutions. Marshall Scholars are chosen for their academic distinction, leadership potential, and ambassadorial qualities. The program covers university fees, cost of living expenses, annual book grant, thesis grant, research and daily travel grants, and fares to and from the United States.
