The Governing Body proposes to award up to ten Graduate Scholarships tenable at this College. Applicants will be judged on their academic merit. Preference may be given to applicants in later years of study. Some account may be taken of the balance between arts and science subjects at the shortlisting stage, but not in making the awards. Please note the scholarships are not awarded on the basis of contribution to general College life or to assist in cases of financial need (those in financial need should consult the Disability & Grants Officer about applying for Hardship Funds).
Who can apply?
Applications are invited from present graduate members of the College. Please note, those eligible should be in the first year of a two-year fee liability course, or taking a one-year fee liability course which will lead to a further three or four year fee liability course (a defined one plus three course), or in the first or second year of a three-year fee liability course, or first, second or third year of a four year fee liability course, e.g. DTC or CDT courses. Part-time students are eligible to apply in years two, three or four of a six to eight year fee liability research course. PGCE, 2nd BM and Second Undergraduate Degree students are not eligible.
How many Scholarships are there?
There will be up to ten Graduate Scholarships awarded. The number awarded will depend on the quality of the applicants.
