The Marshall Scholarships are designed to foster good relations between
the United Kingdom and the United States. These awards allow distinguished
American students to experience the British way of life and to develop a
better
understanding and appreciation of British values. Each year up to 40
scholars are selected to study at the graduate level at almost any
university in the United Kingdom. All fields of study are considered. The
scholarship is for two or three years of graduate study. Please visit the
Marshall Scholarship Web page here for more information.
