Plan II Student Awarded British Marshall Scholarship
- Dec 9, 2019
AUSTIN, Texas — Margaret Siu, a Plan II honors senior at The University of Texas at Austin, is the recipient of a 2020 British Marshall Scholarship.
The Marshall scholarship will fund Siu’s graduate education at the University of Oxford, where she will pursue a Master of Science in Contemporary Chinese Studies during her first year and a Master of Science in Global Governance and Diplomacy during her second. The scholarship will cover Siu’s university fees, cost-of-living expenses, books, thesis research and travel, and fares to and from the United States.
“Receiving the Marshall scholarship affirms my mission to gain a diplomatic understanding to navigate between clashing ideologies,” Siu said. “This scholarship will allow me to study at Oxford. There, I will learn from a global perspective about how soft power works through narratives and especially how the Chinese government curates stories. Given current harrowing events, these stories cannot be forgotten.”
