The Marshall Scholarship has the same basic requirements as the Rhodes and can be used at any British university, although those applying to Oxford and Cambridge are less likely to get in because of stiffer competition. Therefore you would need to do more extensive research on the programs available at the various British universities. The British Council's website, www.britishcouncil.org, has an entire section devoted to education, study in Great Britain, and the Marshall Scholarships. The Association of Commonwealth Universities website, www.acu.ac.uk, also enables students to search universities throughout the commonwealth. You can also access a national accreditation report to see which universities have the top-ranked departments in each field at  http://www.hero.ac.uk/uk/niss/niss_colleges_and_universities4005.cfm.
The best source of information on the Marshall Scholarship is its official site (see below). Senior/US citizen. Campus Deadline: April 4, 2008. www.marshallscholarship.org

The National Institutes of Health-University of Oxford Scholars in Biomedical Sciences interdisciplinary program is specially devoted to the training of outstanding students in various areas of biomedical research leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree awarded by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Being a collaborative program between the NIH laboratories and University of Oxford, students are provided with the opportunity to work at both institutions. Student research projects will be co-mentored by a research investigator at NIH and a faculty member at University of Oxford who work together on a collaborative project in which students carry out research. It is envisioned that students will spend roughly half of their time at Oxford and half their time at NIH, though the specific division of time will be dictated by the nature of the research. At present, there is no formal coursework required as part of the degree requirements from the University of Oxford. The program is based on the British system in which students perform doctoral research without formal courses other than one's taken for their own interest. Students selected for the program have a sophisticated scientific background and have already completed basic course work in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Laboratory research experience is valued. Once admitted, if students are deficient in background in a fundamental science area, arrangements will be made to allow them to take coursework to ensure that they have sufficient science background to take advantage of the research training. Courses and tutorials taught at both institutions are available for needed science courses.

The University of Oxford is one of the world's most prestigious universities and the training institution of Rhodes Scholars. While at the University of Oxford students will stay in one of the Oxford Colleges and be immersed in Oxford student community life. While at NIH, graduate students are immersed in a rich scientific environment in which more than 1200 investigators and 3600 postdoctoral fellows do basic, clinical, and translational research in unparalled facilities. The NIH is the world's premier biomedical research location. Students in the NIH-Oxford program have a wide variety of fields for choice of a dissertation topic.

Students in the National Institutes of Health-University of Oxford program receive support for a stipend, fees, and medical insurance during the course of their study. Up to six new students are brought into the program each year.

Campus deadline: October 3, 2008.

In Germany the program is funded through the Administration of the Bundestag and administered in Germany by InWEnt: Capacity Building International.

The CBYX for Young Professionals program is intended primarily for young adults in business, technical, vocational, and agricultural fields, though applicants from all fields are encouraged to apply. 75 Americans and 75 Germans participate in the program each year. For American participants, the 12-month program begins in late July, and consists of 2 months of intensive German language training in Germany, 4 months classroom instruction at a German University or College of Applied Sciences, and a 5-month internship in their career field.
