Princeton senior Nolan Musslewhite ’25 has been named a 2025 Marshall Scholar to pursue two years of graduate study in the United Kingdom.
The Marshall Scholarship allows “intellectually distinguished young Americans, their country’s future leaders” to study at the U.K. institution of their choice, according to the Marshall Scholarships organization. Musslewhite is among the 36 winners of the award, selected from nearly 1,000 applicants from colleges and universities across the United States. Princeton alumnus Travis Kanoa Chai Andrade ’24 is also among the 2025 Marshall Scholars.
Musslewhite, of Washington, D.C., is a history major who is pursuing minors in European studies, humanistic studies, and classics, and a certificate in history and the practice of diplomacy.
Musslewhite is an active member of the undergraduate humanities community at Princeton. He serves as a mentor in the Humanities Council’s Program in Humanistic Studies, where he advises peers about course selection and international experiences, and participates in informal peer discussions about literature, philosophy, history, and art. He is also a member of the Behrman Undergraduate Society of Fellows, a group of juniors and seniors committed to the study of humanistic inquiry.
For his first year of graduate study, Musslewhite will pursue an M.A. in African studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, followed by an MSt in history in the Modern British History strand at the University of Oxford.
