Note that the Marshall does not fund undergraduate degrees, the MBA, the MSc/MFE in Financial Economics, the MSc in Global Health Science, the MPP at the University of Oxford, professional degrees, or degrees that require extended periods away from the university or the UK. Who is eligible? Marshall Scholarship applicants must be U.S. citizens and: 1. Hold a first degree from a four-year college or university in the US by the time the Scholarship would begin. The degree must have been awarded no later than the April of two years prior to the application year. (So if one is applying in 2016, the first degree must be awarded between April 2014 and August 2017.) 2. Have a minimum GPA of 3.7, with exceptions in very rare cases.

Its aim was to find whether there is scope for further efficiencies and synergies, and if so what structure, administration or delivery might realise those improvements. Scholarship schemes build soft power, in the short and long term; they promote international development; they enhance the reputation of UK universities; they recognise and promote the highest standards of intellectual achievement; they build international academic communities; they recognise and promote the highest standards of intellectual achievement; and they project British excellence abroad, promoting the UK internationally as a place to visit, study and do business.
