<p>An aside on the two years length of the scholarships:</p>
<p>Historically it was very common to use a Rhodes scholarship to study for a second undergraduate degree. It meant the student missed out the first year of the Oxford course leading up to the Preliminary exams or Moderations (depending on subject) and just studied the two years leading up to Finals. This may well have been the origin of the two years scholarship but I believe it is quite unusual nowadays.</p>
<p>The Marshall may well follow the same historical trend.</p>
