The Marshall Scholarship provides successful applicants with funding for graduate study at any eligible university in the United Kingdom, which includes England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The British Parliament established this program in 1953 in recognition of the United States’ efforts to support Europe’s economic recovery in the wake of World War II. This scholarship is named for the U.S. Secretary of State who oversaw the recovery plan that now bears his name, General George C. Marshall.

Program Objectives:

• To enable intellectually distinguished young Americans, their country's future leaders, to study in the UK.
• To help Scholars gain an understanding and appreciation of contemporary Britain.
• To contribute to the advancement of knowledge in science, technology, the humanities and social sciences and the creative arts at Britain's centers of academic excellence.
• To motivate Scholars to act as ambassadors from the USA to the UK and vice versa throughout their lives thus strengthening British American understanding.
• To promote the personal and academic fulfillment of each Scholar.
