Application procedure Candidates may apply in one region only, either that in which they have their permanent home or that in which they are studying. Applicants must submit their applications on the official forms obtained from the campus representative or the nearest regional center. See official Marshall Scholarship announcement for additional requirements.
Applications are available from the campus representative.
Selection Criteria Selectors look for distinction of intellect and character. Preference will be given to candidates who combine high academic ability with the capacity to play an active role in the life of the U.K. university to which they go, and to those who display a potential to make a significant contribution to their own society. The final selections will be announced in late November. All awards are subject to the ability of the Marshall Commission in London to obtain satisfactory placements at British universities. The Mellon Fellowships help exceptionally promising students to prepare for careers of teaching and scholarship in humanistic studies by providing top-level, portable awards, and to contribute thereby to the continuity of teaching and research of the highest order in America's colleges and universities.
