Scholarship Description: The Clarendon
Fund proposes around 140 full scholarships each year to academically outstanding
graduate students from all around the world. Clarendon Scholarships are awarded
on the basis of academic brilliance and potential across all degree-bearing
subjects at graduate level at the University of Oxford. The scholarships cover
tuition and college fees as well as a generous grant for living expenses, and
all graduate candidates who submit an application for study at the University
by the January closing date, in their respective year of entry, will be
automatically measured for this prestigious scholarship funding.
Host Institution(s): Oxford University in UK
Scholarship Provider:
The Clarendon Fund, UK
Study Subject(s): Scholarships are acceptable
in all subject areas presented at the University of Oxford.
Course Level: Scholarships are honored
for all degree-bearing courses presented at the graduate level. This
encompasses all full-time and part-time master’s and all DPhil courses.
Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma courses are not qualified for this
scholarship.
Eligibility: All candidates for graduate study at the
University of Oxford are qualified. Clarendon scholars come from all continents
in the world: from the USA to Australia, Venezuela to Vietnam and from Norway
to Nigeria! All
degree-bearing courses at graduate level are qualified. This encompasses all
full-time and part-time master’s and all DPhil courses. Postgraduate
Certificate or Diploma courses are not qualified for this scholarship. Clarendon
supports scholars from across the University, with no preference for any
particular subject area. Applicants applying to start a new graduate
course at Oxford are suitable. This includes students who are currently
studying for a Master’s degree at Oxford but who will be re-applying for a
DPhil (you would be suitable for funding for the DPhil). If you hold a deferred
suggest to starting in 2016-17, you will be considered for this scholarship
automatically. Students who will continue to study for the same degree at
Oxford in the next year are not qualified for this scholarship.
Scholarship Opens: Students from all
around the world can submit an application for these Clarendon scholarships.
Number of award(s): The Clarendon Fund proposes
over 140 full scholarships each year to academically outstanding graduate
students from all around the world.
Duration of award(s): Clarendon
Scholarships are presented for the full period that you are liable to pay
tuition fees to the University, which is usually the same as the length of your
course. The fee liability page of the Fees and Funding website explains this in
full detail, and also provides information about charges that may be applied
after the standard period of fee liability has been reached and which are not enclosed
by the Clarendon Fund.
What
does it cover? All Clarendon Scholarships cover tuition and college fees in
full. Scholars on a full-time course receive a bighearted annual grant for
living costs, which is normally sufficient to cover the living costs of a
single student living in Oxford. In 2015-16 this is £14,057 (GBP). Scholars on
a part-time course accept a study support funding to help cover their non-fee
costs.
Selection Criteria: Clarendon Scholarships
are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic merit and potential to
graduate students from all around the world. Selection criteria vary slightly
depending on the subject area and whether candidates submit an application for
a taught or research degree. Generally, applications are assessed against the
following criteria:
-An
outstanding academic record is important: A high first class honors degree or
its equivalent (a GPA score of at least 3.7 if the mark is out of 4, noting
that most successful applicants attain a score higher than 3.7) or an
outstanding academic record at Master’s level is necessary (noting that an
outstanding Master’s degree can compensate for a moderate first degree performance).
Other indicators of high academic achievement may include individual marks on
student transcripts; evidence of previous university prizes or awards;
information on your overall position within your cohort; and publications (if
applicable).
-Aptitude
for the projected course of study: This may be assessed by reviewing academic
references, the research proposal, demonstrated evidence of aptitude for
research, and the likelihood the scholar will contribute significantly to their
field of study.
-Student
motivation: This is assessed through evidence of the candidate commitment to
their proposed course, evaluated by the personal statement and referees’
reports.
Notification: Not Known
How to Apply: If you submit an
application for a full- or part-time master’s or DPhil course at Oxford by the
January deadline for your course, you will automatically be considered for a
Clarendon Scholarship.
