The John Marshall Scholar
Program recognizes highly motivated students who have demonstrated a
passion for learning, an intense interest in probing specific areas
of study, and superior academic achievement. Marshall Scholars are chosen
from Franklin & Marshall's freshman applicants each year and competition
for this award is highly selective.
The John Marshall Scholarship
includes the following benefits:
$15,000 renewable merit-based scholarship
The opportunity to submit proposals for up to
$3,000 to cover expenses related to research, creative arts or community
and public service during the student's four years at the College
A tuition credit of the value amount of the computer recommended by the Faculty Committee on Academic Technology
Invitations to a number of trips, luncheons with
faculty, and other special events each year

Of course, the
only way to really experience F&M is to visit. But, since we’re
fairly certain you’re not here now, the next best thing is by taking
advantage of our virtual tour and visit planner. You’ve probably
seen these before, but ours is as cool as they come.
