Worth of Awards
2. The grant for living expenses for scholars on a full-time course is normally sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single student living in Oxford.
3. 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.
Note
1. Under the new Combined Award Policy for Clarendon Scholarship holders, that came into effect from the 2011-12 academic year.
2. Clarendon scholars may be in receipt of a funding package covering tuition fees, college fees and living expenses from multiple sources, and the value of the funding package from these sources may equal up to the total of a standard Clarendon Scholarship plus an additional £2,500 p/a for living expenses
3. Clarendon scholars may hold small external awards that cover non-fee costs (e.g. to support conference attendance, fieldwork costs and travel) up to the equivalent GBP value of £2,500 p/a with no adjustment to your Clarendon funding package.
Duration of Awards
1. Clarendon Scholarships are offered 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
2. Scholarships are subject to an annual renewal process based on satisfactory academic progress.
Level of Study
1. All degree-bearing courses at the graduate level are eligible.
2. This encompasses all full-time and part-time Master’s courses (MSt, MSc, BCL/MJur, MBA, MFE, MPhil, BPhil, MSc by Research, MTh) and all DPhil (same as PhD) programmes.
3. Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma courses are not eligible for this scholarship.
Eligibility for Clarendon Scholarship
1. All graduate applicants from any country are eligible for this prestigious scholarship which has, up until recently, only been open to international students. There is no preference for any course of study.
2. 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)
3. Candidates who already have a place but who deferred entry from a previous year are not eligible to apply (as you can apply for Clarendon in the year that you applied for your place and then if you are successful, you can apply to defer your funding if you need to defer your place).
4. Students who will continue to study for the same degree at Oxford in the next year are not eligible for this scholarship.
Selection Criteria for Clarendon Scholarship
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 first-class honours degree or its equivalent (a GPA score of at least 3.7 if the mark is out of 4) or an outstanding academic record at Master’s level is necessary. 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 an 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.
