[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Marshall Scholarship reflects US Secretary of State George Marshall’s vision of a close and intimate accord between Britain and the United States. To achieve this vision of\u00a0transatlantic understanding<\/strong>, the program provides America’s future leaders and opinion makers with the opportunity to earn a university degree (at the undergraduate or graduate level) in the United Kingdom and to gain an understanding of British social and academic values.<\/p>\n

Candidates are evaluated on\u00a0academic achievement, leadership potential, social commitment and communication skills<\/strong>. The Marshall Commission will also look for strong motivation and seriousness of purpose, including the presentation of a specific and realistic academic program.<\/p>\n

The Marshall Scholarship covers tuition and fees, living expenses, books, and round-trip international travel and is tenable at\u00a0any university in the United Kingdom<\/strong>. Applicants must list two preferred universities, although the Marshall Commission reserves the right to decide on final placement.\u00a0Expressions of interest in studying at universities other than Oxford and Cambridge are particularly welcome.<\/em>
