Marshall Scholarship                                                                               Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. At least forty Scholars are selected each year to study either at graduate or occasionally undergraduate level at an UK institution in any field of study. Each scholarship is held for two years.

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. Marshall Scholars are talented, independent and wide-ranging, and their time as Scholars enhances their intellectual and personal growth. Their direct engagement with Britain through its best academic programmes contributes to their ultimate personal success.

Open only to United States citizens who (at the time they take up their Scholarship) hold a first degree from an accredited four-year college or university in the United States with a minimum GPA of 3.7.

 Applications for Marshall Scholarships must be submitted to and endorsed by an accredited US University.

Rhodes Scholarship

Deadline: October

Graduating Seniors
The Rhodes scholarships were created by the will of Cecil J. Rhodes, a British colonial pioneer and statesman. They provide for two years of study at the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year. The Rhodes Trustees pay the Scholar all educational costs, maintenance, and travel expenses.
Cecil Rhodes wished to advance international understanding and peace by bringing together talented young men and women in an environment highly congenial to personal and intellectual development.
Rhodes specified that the persons chosen as Scholars should have demonstrated literary and scholastic attainments; truthfulness, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindness, unselfishness, and fellowship, exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in one's contemporaries; and physical vigor, as shown by fondness for and success in sports.
Committees of Selection meet in each American state in early December. District Committees meet three days later to decide which of the candidates nominated at the state level will receive scholarships. A candidate must be a citizen of the United States, at least 18 years of age, and no more than 24 years of age. He or she must be a college senior, sure to graduate by October of the year of matriculation at Oxford.
