Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom.

Up to forty Scholars are selected each year to study at the graduate level at a UK institution in any field of study.

Scholars are selected based on academic merit, leadership potential, and ambassador potential. Marshall scholars will gain an understanding and appreciation of contemporary British society and the relationship between British and American peoples, their governments, and their institutions.

Eligibility Requirements

• Be citizens of the United States of America (at the time they apply for a scholarship);
• Hold their first undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States by the time the grant would start;
• Have obtained a grade point average of not less than 3.7 on their undergraduate degree at the time of application. We do not accept rounded GPA's.
• Not have studied for, or hold a degree or degree-equivalent qualification from a British University or GCSE or A Levels taken at school in the UK.

The award covers university fees, tuition, books, a thesis grant, research, and daily travel, plus fares to and from the U.S. Applicants need to consult the UO Faculty Representative for an institutional endorsement in fall of their junior year.
