Student Information Guide
Marshall Scholarships
finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree
at any university in the United Kingdom. The Scholarships
were founded by an Act of Parliament in 1953 and commemorate
the humane ideals of the Marshall Plan. Up to 40 scholarships
are awarded annually.
Regarding eligibility, applicants must be U.S. citizens, hold
a bachelor's degree by the time study in the UK would begin,
and have at least a 3.7 GPA. Candidates must apply 2 years
or less after completion of their bachelor's degree. In addition,
it is recommended that applicants have extensive university
and community involvement, demonstrated leadership and scholarship,
and have a good rationale for their study in the UK.
UIC will interview campus nominees for the Marshall Scholarship
in September of each academic year. In order

Programs by the first week of the fall semester in the
