Kashish Bastola Wins Marshall Scholarship

Undergraduate Associate Kashish Bastola ’26 is the recipient of a 2026 Marshall Scholarship, which finances young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Up to fifty students are selected each year to study at graduate level in any field of study, and five of this year’s Marshall scholars are from Harvard. Bastola—whose senior thesis uncovers the CIA’s covert Cold War programs that trained Tibetan refugees at American colleges—will study military history at Oxford over the next two years.
