Brief description:
Sponsored Ad
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:
Any field of study offered at University of Oxford.
Number of Awards:
Approximately
100 scholarships are offered every year. In 2012-13, there were over
300 Clarendon scholars at Oxford from 50 different nations.
Target group:
All candidates including international students accepted to start a graduate course at Oxford in 2012/2013.
Scholarship value/inclusions:
All Clarendon Scholarships cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for living expenses.
Scholars
on a full-time course receive a tax-free annual grant that is normally
sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single student living in
Oxford. The grant for living expenses in 2011-12 is GBP£13,590.
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.
Selection Criteria:
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 honours 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.
Application instructions:
By applying for graduate study at Oxford University, you will automatically be considered for a Clarendon Scholarship.
You do not need to submit any additional documents specifically for
the Clarendon Scholarships and there is no separate scholarship
application form. The closing date for Graduate Admissions for
2013/2014 is 18 January 2013 (or 4 January for Medical Sciences, Philosophy, Politics and International Relations).
The
information that you provide with your application form for graduate
study at Oxford will be used to assess your funding application. Once
the application deadline has passed, you are not able to provide any
additional supporting materials (unless the department you are
applying to has specifically requested this in support of your
application for admission to Oxford).
