These scholarships were established in 1953 by the British government as an expression of gratitude to the U.S. for economic aid under the Marshall Plan after World War II. Typically awarded for two years, the scholarships enable postgraduate study of a wide range of subjects at any of Britain’s universities and business schools. Applications indicating interest in study at universities other than Cambridge or Oxford are especially welcome.
