Marshall Scholarship

The Marshall Scholarship is a prestigious postgraduate scholarship program that enables American students to study at any university in the United Kingdom. Established by the British government as a gesture of gratitude for the Marshall Plan, these scholarships are awarded to intellectually distinguished young Americans of high ability, with the potential to become leaders in their fields. The program seeks candidates who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership potential, and the ability to contribute to improved UK-US understanding. Marshall Scholarships cover university fees, cost of living expenses, travel grants, and other allowances for one or two years of graduate study in the UK. Candidates must complete their application through their undergraduate institution, which endorses and submits the application. Regional selection committees across the United States review applications and conduct interviews to select finalists. The scholarship aims to strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American people.
