Ryan Doan-Nguyen has been awarded the Marshall Scholarship, a program that enables intellectually distinguished young Americans to study in the United Kingdom.
The 2025 Marshall Class will see Ryan – who is set to graduate in 2025 with a joint concentration in History & Literature and Government and a secondary in Ethnicity, Migration, and Rights – join two other Harvard students in a cohort of 36.
Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the UK. Up to fifty scholars are selected each year to study at graduate level at a UK institution in any field of study.
As future leaders, with a lasting understanding of British society, Marshall Scholars strengthen the enduring relationship between the British and American peoples, their governments, and institutions. Marshall Scholars are talented, independent, and wide-ranging, and their time as Scholars enhances their intellectual and personal growth. Their direct engagement with Britain, through its best academic programs, contributes to their ultimate personal success.
Ryan seeks to engage in a comparative analysis of Western colonialism across Southeast Asia by reading for two master’s degrees taught at the University of Oxford: one in Global and Imperial History and the second in U.S. History.
