Cardiff University Marshall Scholarship

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 graduate level at a UK institution in any field of study.

We offer our own Marshall Scholarship for postgraduate students, in partnership with the Marshall Scholarships Commission.
