Cambridge Marshall PhD Scholarship

The Marshall Commission is responsible for the Marshall Scholarship Programme, named in honour of George C Marshall, US Secretary of State (1950-51). It was founded by an Act of Parliament in 1953 and is principally funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Marshall Scholarships provide two years’ funding to finance up to 50 US scholars each year to study for graduate degrees in the UK in any subject.

The Cambridge Marshall PhD Scholarship at the University of Cambridge is available to applicants for any PhD course to fund the third year of a three-year course. The scholarship is tenable at any College within the University, and in any subject, from academic year 2019-20, and up to two scholarships may be offered in each academic year.

This scholarship is available to PhD applicants from the USA who are recipients of a two-year Marshall Scholarship, and will fund the third year of a three-year PhD course in any subject. It is tenable at any College.

Offered in partnership with The Marshall Commission.
