THE GEORGE C. MARSHALL FOUNDATION conducts programs in scholarship that drawn on Marshall's example.  These programs are supported by our research library and museum.  

Research and Scholarly Programs

The Marshall Foundation promotes primary research and study as the cornerstone of our scholarship programs.

• The Marshall Undergraduate Scholars Program gives undergraduate students at selected Virginia and Mid-Atlantic colleges an opportunity to do research and writing using primary materials. The Scholar may choose any subject involving 20th-century diplomatic and military history or political affairs from 1898 to 1960--the approximate dates of George C. Marshall's public service.  Watch overview video.

• The George C. Marshall/Baruch Fellowships are given to encourage doctoral or postdoctoral research in 20th-century U.S. military or diplomatic history and related fields. The fellowships are administered by the George C. Marshall Foundation – a non- profit, non-governmental institution – and generated from a gift provided annually by the Baruch Family Foundation of Encino, California. The fellowships honor the career of George C. Marshall, 20th-century soldier-statesman, and the Baruch family. Application Form
