The Marshall Aid Commemoration Act 1953 was passed by the UK Parliament to express enduring gratitude to the American people for the post-Second World War 'Marshall Plan' for economic reconstruction.
This Act established Marshall scholarships for young Americans to study for a postgraduate degree at a UK university. These are funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and administered in the UK by the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission.
The Commission's Annual Accounts cover the financial year 2025 to 2026.
