Opportunities

Marshall Scholarship

Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a graduate degree in the United Kingdom, but should not thought of as simply funding. 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.

ELIGIBILITY

  • U.S. citizens
  • Minimum 3.7 GPA (3.8 to qualify for USF nomination)

Please note: Candidates from Health Sciences must have a research or public health focus and are eligible to apply to the NIH-Marshall Scholarships to complete a PhD. MD candidates are ineligible as the British Medical Degree is an undergraduate and not a post graduate degree.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

  • Academic excellence
  • Demonstrated leadership and ambassadorial potential (leadership activities may be focused in one area or varied, but must have delivered concrete and measurable outcomes)
  • Extensive record of civic engagement

Please note: University nomination is required.

TIMELINE

Application Deadline
Late September

When should you engage with ONS?
Students must participate in pre-application the spring before the application is due, but there is no fixed timeline. Maturing into an ideal candidate for a Marshall Scholarship takes the entire duration of a student’s journey at USF. Early engagement with ONS is encouraged.
