The Marshall Scholarships were established by the British Government in 1953 as a national expression of gratitude to the U.S. for aid under the Marshall Plan. Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Up to fifty Scholars are selected each year to study at the graduate level at a UK institution in any field of study.

The objectives of the program are:

1. To enable intellectually distinguished young Americans, their country's future leaders, to study in the UK.
2. To help Scholars gain an understanding and appreciation of contemporary Britain.
3. To contribute to the advancement of knowledge in science, technology, the humanities and social sciences and the creative arts at Britain's centers of academic excellence.
4. To motivate Scholars to act as ambassadors from the USA to the UK and vice versa throughout their lives, thus strengthening British-American understanding.
5. To promote the personal and academic fulfillment of each Scholar.
