Description:
The Clarendon Fund is the University
of Oxford’s flagship scholarship scheme. The awards are sponsored by Oxford
University Press and are only available at the University of Oxford for all
full-time and part-time graduate degrees.
Host Institution(s):
University of Oxford in United
Kingdom
Fields of study:
All degree-bearing graduate courses
in all subjects are eligible. This encompasses all full-time and
part-time Master’s courses (MSt, MSc, BCL/MJur, MBA, MFE, MPhil, BPhil, and MSc
by Research, MTh, and MPP) and all DPhil programmes. A list of all the graduate
courses offered by the University of Oxford can be found on the Graduate Course
Guide.
Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma
courses are not eligible for this scholarship.
Number of Awards:
Approximately 100 scholarships are
offered every year. In 2013/14, there will be well over
300 Clarendon scholars at Oxford from more than 50 different
nations.
Target group:
All candidates including
international students accepted to start a graduate course at Oxford in
2014/2015.
Scholarship
value/inclusions:
All Clarendon Scholarships
cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for
living expenses.
The grant for living expenses for
scholars on a full-time course in 2013/14 is GBP£13,726, which is normally
sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single student living in Oxford.
Scholars on a part-time course
receive a pro-rata amount of the full-time grant for living expenses. Part-time
Master’s scholars are offered 1/3 of the full-time grant per year for two
years. Part-time DPhil scholars are offered 1/6 of the full-time grant per year
for six years.
Eligibility/Selection
Criteria:
All candidates applying to start a
new graduate course at Oxford are eligible. 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 eligible for funding for the DPhil).
Selection criteria vary slightly
depending on the subject area and whether applicants apply for a taught or
research degree, but include:
An excellent academic record is essential: 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 candidates achieve 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 proposed 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 applicant’s commitment to their
proposed course, evaluated by the personal statement and referees’ reports.
