Juniors and seniors who wish to apply for the Rhodes and/or Marshall scholarships for graduate programs in the United Kingdom that begin in fall 2016 must submit a brief, preliminary application for UM endorsement by Friday, May 15. All Rhodes and Marshal scholarship applicants must be endorsed by their home university.

The Marshall Scholarships commemorate the humane ideals of the Marshall Plan and express the continuing gratitude of the British people to their American counterparts. Up to 40 Marshall Scholars are selected each year to study at the graduate level at a U.K. university in any field of study

The Rhodes Scholarship was initiated in 1902 to bring outstanding students from around the world to the University of Oxford to pursue graduate studies. Candidates must be U.S. citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 and hold a bachelor’s degree by October 2016.
