We are proud to be a partner of the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission (MACC) in hosting highly talented Americans to study for a postgraduate degree in United Kingdom.
About the Marshall Scholarships
Marshall Scholarships finance American students of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom.
Up to 40 students are selected each year to study at graduate level at a UK institution in any field of study.
As future leaders, with a lasting understanding of British society, Marshall Scholars strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments and their institutions.
Marshall Scholars are talented, independent and wide-ranging, and their time as Scholars enhances their intellectual and personal growth. Their direct engagement with the UK through its best academic programmes contributes to their ultimate personal success.
Scholarships are awarded for two years (with the possibility of a third year). The University of Reading supports a broad range of research areas but is particularly keen to support scholarships in the following areas of notable academic strength:
- climate, environmental sciences, and sustainability
- human nutrition
- food security
- language, cognition and the mind
- archaeology.
