<p>2011</a> Marshall Scholar Winners Announced</p>

<p>The Marshall Scholars for 2011 have now been announced. </p>

<p>Princeton had a single winner this year, John Nelson, who will study at University College London. For the Marshall Scholar Class of 2011, Duke and Yale led the nation with three scholars each. Harvard, Penn, Rice, Stanford and the U. of Chicago each had two and fifteen other universities had one each. Every member of the Ivy League was represented with the exception of Dartmouth. The current rules are that no school may be allowed more than four winners.</p>

<p>Since the founding of the program in 1954, Harvard has had the most winners with 249. Princeton is in second place with 120, while Yale takes third with 110. Stanford has produced 84 through this year and MIT comes in next at 50. A handful of other schools have 25 to 50. </p>

<p>PtonGrad2000,</p>

<p>Do you have a PDF or some sort of document that contains the total number of Marshall Scholars that each undergraduate institution in the US has produced? I’m just curious as to how you arrived at those numbers for those five schools and what the totals are for some other colleges.</p>

<p>I do and here it is. This is through the Scholar Class of 2008 so you’ll need to add the Scholar Classes of 2009, 2010 and 2011. Through 2011, Duke (aren’t you a current Duke student?) has had a total of 24 Marshall Scholars and has done particularly well in the last few years, including leading the country this year.</p>

<p>Another CC’er has pointed out to me that the figures published by the Marshall Scholarship website have been updated and corrected. There were mistakes in the table I linked earlier. The newly-corrected and published table can be found at the following link.</p>
