The endowment was made possible by donations from over 200 Marshall Scholars and a matching grant by Marshall Scholar and LinkedIn founder, Reid Hoffman. Additional support for the scholarship has begun through Marshall Scholarship alumni working directly with the UK universities they attended to support future Marshall Scholars.

Noting the achievement of the Marshall Scholarship Endowment Fund, AMS Board President, Andrew Klaber noted, "Each member of our Marshall Scholar community is extremely grateful to the British Government for the privilege of having received a Marshall Scholarship. The Endowment Fund is our way of providing a gesture of thanks for this experience and long-term financial support for this extraordinary program."
