Not to be confused with the spookier Marshall Memorial Fellowship
The Marshall Scholarship is a postgraduate scholarship for "intellectually distinguished young Americans [and] their country's future leaders" to study at any university in the United Kingdom.[1]
History
It was Created by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1953. The scholarships are awarded by the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission and are largely funded by the British government.[2] It is named after General George C. Marshall and the Marshall Plan.
While the authors of the proposal initially considered partnering with the Rhodes Scholarship and even considered using the same selection committees, this idea was eventually disregarded
Other activities
The Association of Marshall Scholars hosts members of the United States Congress and members of the British Parliament for an annual bipartisan, cross-party US-UK Legislative Exchange. The four-day program features subject-matter experts and Marshall Scholars in Oxford and meetings with British government ministers, officials, and private sector leaders in London. Partners include the GCHQ, Henry Jackson Society and Chatham House[3].
Leadership
