History
The British Marshall Scholarships were instituted by the British
Parliament on July 31, 1953 as a practical and enduring gesture of
thanks on behalf of the British people for assistance received from
the US in the aftermath of World War II. The scholarships are
funded by the Diplomatic Wing of the British Foreign and
Commonwealth Office and allow US students to study in the UK.
