Marshall Scholarship 2026
About this scholarship
The Marshall Scholarship funds outstanding American students to pursue graduate study in the United Kingdom at selected universities, strengthening ties between the United States and the UK.
The Marshall Scholarship is a prestigious UK government-funded programme administered by the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission. It was established to finance intellectually distinguished young Americans to study for a graduate degree in the United Kingdom, while promoting lasting understanding between the people of the United States and the United Kingdom.
The scholarship is intended for graduate-level study, typically supporting Master's degrees and, in some cases, other postgraduate pathways at UK universities. Scholars may usually apply to one or more approved institutions and programmes in a wide range of academic fields, provided the proposed course fits the scholarship's aims and the applicant's academic and leadership profile.
Marshall Scholarships are generally considered fully funded. Support commonly includes university tuition fees, a living allowance, travel support, and other allowances associated with studying in the UK. The exact package and duration can vary depending on the course and scholarship type, with many awards supporting one or two years of study.
The programme is open specifically to citizens of the United States. Applicants are normally expected to have a strong academic record, leadership potential, ambassadorial qualities, and a clear rationale for studying in the UK. They must also gain admission to an eligible UK graduate programme.
Applications are made through the official Marshall Scholarship system, usually on an annual cycle. Candidates typically submit academic records, essays, recommendations, and details of their proposed UK study plans, and shortlisted applicants are invited to interview. Because competition is intense, applicants should prepare early and carefully review the official eligibility and application guidance.
