We require all Syracuse University students who are seeking institutional endorsement for the Marshall Scholarship and Rhodes Scholarship to register with CFSA by June 1 and to complete an “Intent to Apply” form by July 1, detailing their record on leadership, service, academic accomplishments, and their rationale for the application.
A campus committee will meet in July to review these forms and select the students who will be endorsed by the University.

The “Intent to Apply” Form will open in late May and close on July 1st.
