In addition before applying for a 2010 Marshall Scholarship, candidates should review the information on the Marshall Partnership Scholarships.
The process
Candidates fill out the form and submit it through the system to their institution, the institution ensures that the application is complete and decides whether or not to endorse it. If the Institution decides to endorse the application they will add the letter of endorsement and will then submit it through the system to the appropriate regional committee. Candidates should contact the appropriate contact at their institution if they are considering applying for a Marshall Scholarship.
Your completed application
Candidates may apply in one region only - either that in which they have their permanent home address or ordinary place of residence/employment, or that in which they are studying. Any candidate applying in more than one region will automatically be disqualified.
Candidates must submit their application on the online form provided. Applications must be endorsed by the President, Provost, or Academic Dean of the applicant's educational institution (or employer). The online application must be submitted and authorised by a designated member of staff at the applicant's educational insitution (or employer). NB Your institution may have earlier deadlines for submission of your application. Whether this is the case or not you must submit your application in a timely manner in order for your institution to be able to authorise it for submission by 2 October 2008.
All items including the four letters of recommendation must be submitted online by the authorised contact and received at the regional centre no later than October 2, 2008. NB: Academic transcripts must be sent by mail (not online) to the regional centre, they should be marked with the id code given and be received no later than 2 October 2008
You will be able to track and monitor your application's progress online.
What happens next
Applications will be received and reviewed at eight regional centres in the United States. Shortlisted candidates will be called for interview in November. The final selection will be announced shortly after interview. Successful applicants will be offered a scholarship in writing, and will be asked to accept or decline this offer, also in writing, within 12 days of receiving it. In keeping with other UK government-funded programs the Marshall Commission asks Scholars to give a definitive and final response in this way, so that the Commission can at the earliest opportunity arrange the best and most appropriate graduate program and living accommodation for each Scholar's needs.
