The award, for up to two years study, may cover either undergraduate or the graduate level programs. The profile of a Marshall scholar is much like that of the Rhodes scholar. Originality of thought, keen intellect, and potential for leadership are highly valued. Candidates are judged heavily on the strength of their study proposal. Individuals should research thoroughly where programs of note in their area of interest are found and reflect on the rationale and content of their proposed course of study.
Regional committees review all applications and interview the most promising candidates.
The selected fellows are announced from Washington in late November. For additional information please visit the Marshall Scholarship Web site.
