American Marshall Memorial Fellowship of Colorado

GMF created the American component of the Marshall Memorial Fellowship in 1999 to educate a new generation of American leaders about Europe, the transatlantic partnership, and global challenges both sides face.

American Fellows travel in diverse groups of 18-21 to Brussels, Belgium, for briefings on European and transatlantic institutions before dividing into small groups to visit cities and small towns in Northern, Southern, and Central Europe. American Fellows complete their Fellowship as a group in Berlin or Paris. Recent program schedules can be found at www.gmfus.org.

Since 2003, GMF has worked with the Institute for Public Policy Studies each fall to identify four emerging Colorado leaders for the American Fellowship.
