2013 Marshall Scholarships

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 graduate level at an UK institution in any field of study.

To be eligible for a 2013 Marshall Scholarship, candidates must:

be citizens of the United States of America (at the time they apply for a scholarship);
(by the time they take up their scholarship i.e. September 2013) hold their first undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States;
have obtained a grade point average of not less than 3.7 (or A-) on their undergraduate degree. (Exceptions will be considered only on the specific recommendation of the sponsoring college.)
have graduated from their first undergraduate college or university after April 2010.
not have studied for, or hold a degree or degree-equivalent qualification from a British University.

To be eligible for the NIH Marshall Scholarship, applicants must first be selected as Marshall Scholars, applying in the usual way.

The Marshall Commission will pay for the first two years of the Scholarship and the Scholar will spend this time in the UK, and the NIH will pay for the third and fourth years and will give the Scholar the opportunity to research at NIH in Bethesda. Chosen Scholars will receive joint supervision from their British University and the NIH and will ultimately receive a doctoral degree from the British Institution.

Any Marshall Scholar who is selected for research in a Bio-medical/Science field can be put forward to the NIH for consideration
