Marshall Scholarship
Program Information
The Marshall Scholarship was established by an Act of Parliament in 1953 and named for former United States Secretary of State George C. Marshall. Marshall Scholarships provide financial support for young Americans of high ability to pursue graduate degrees in the United Kingdom. Marshall Scholars are selected based on the following criteria: academic merit, leadership potential, and ambassadorial potential.
