Award:  The standard scholarship covers tuition and fees, cost-of-living expenses, and grants for books, research, and travel for two years, as well as transportation costs to and from Great Britain at the start and conclusion of the program. A limited number of one- and three-year scholarships are also available.   

Eligibility: Applicants must be US citizens, have a GPA of 3.7, and have completed a bachelor's degree by the time the program is initiated.

When to Apply: Applications are usually due to the faculty representative by early September.

The Marshall Scholarship is designed to provide distinguished American students of the arts, humanities, social sciences, and science and technology with the opportunity to study in Great Britain and gain a meaningful understanding of and appreciation for contemporary British culture. It is named in honor of George C. Marshall, the former Secretary of State who implemented the Marshall Plan, which endeavored to rebuild and strengthen Western Europe after World War II. Established as a gesture to thank the United States for its efforts during the war and post-war periods and strengthen the special relationship that exists between the US and Britain, the scholarship is designed to attract America's future leaders to further their education at the British University of their choice. If an application is accepted for endorsement by the home college, it is then forwarded on to the regional review panel. All students chosen as a finalist on the national level will then be asked to take part in an interview (most likely in November, and in Atlanta).
