Press Release 12/31/2021 The Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission this month announced the winners of the 2022 Marshall Scholarships chosen by the eight regional committees. Approximately 40 Marshall Scholarships are awarded each year to high-achieving American students to pursue post-graduate studies at any university in the UK in any field. The award covers all university fees, cost-of-living expenses and many other costs. They will begin their graduate studies in September 2022. Named for former U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, the scholarship program began in 1953 as a gesture of gratitude to the American people for the assistance offered to the U.K. after World War II under the Marshall Plan. Following are among the named 2022 Marshall Scholars: Baig is also the co-founder and chief software engineer of the Duke Applied Machine Learning Group, one of the largest student software and machine learning engineering groups in the U.S. When COVID 19 caused the loss of many computer science student internships, Baig and his colleagues at DAML founded the Phoenix Project which paired more than 200 students with new, virtual internships, noted the report. *Rohit Goyal of Yale University earned a B.A. in economics at Yale and was elected into Phi Beta Kappa.
