The Marshall Scholarship supports cultural exchange between the US and the UK. Applicants are evaluated on academic merit, leadership, and their potential to act as ambassadors between the USA to the UK throughout their lives, thus strengthening British American understanding. Successful candidates have exceptional academic records (the average GPA of Marshall Scholars in recent years has been a 3.8), strong preparation for the proposed field of graduate study, and a proven capacity for leadership with a demonstrated ability to achieve results. Students of exceptional talent and intellectual distinction who have already been honored through other awards or recognitions make the strongest applicants.
