<p>With the exception of the Rhodes Scholarship, the Marshall Scholarship has traditionally been the most coveted foreign fellowship for American students. A gift from the citizens of the United Kingdom, it was meant to express thanks to the American people for the Marshall Plan that helped Europe recover economically after WWII and it funds two or three years of study at any university in the United Kingdom.</p>

<p>Since the founding of the program in 1954, Harvard has had the most winners with 238. Princeton is in second place with 124, while Yale takes third with 107. Stanford has an impressive number of scholars with 83 through this year and MIT comes in next at 59. A handful of other schools have 20 to 50. </p>
