BSUF Scholarships

BSUF has entered into an agreement with the British Marshall Commission whereby one or more British Marshall Scholarships will be underwritten annually by BSUF’s Thomas E. Ward, Sr. and Richard E. & and Kathleen May Scholarship Funds. The new arrangement, which replaces BSUF’s previous scholarship program, relieves the Foundation of a growing burden of administrative work and expense, so that all funds available for the program are received by scholars.

The inaugural BSUF-Marshall Scholar is James Matthew Powers, who is currently completing his final year at the United States Military Academy. During his time in the United Kingdom he intends to pursue an MA degree in Chinese Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, where he will work with noted scholars in this field.

The British Marshall Scholarships were founded by a 1953 Act of Parliament to commemorate the humane ideals of the Marshall Plan. They are administered in the U. K. by the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission and in the U.S. by the British Embassy in Washington and five regional Consulates-General.
