The Clarendon Fund is a major graduate scholarship scheme at the University of Oxford, offering over 100 new scholarships every year.
Clarendon Scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic merit and potential to graduate students from all around the world. Scholarships are tenable in all subject areas and open to candidates who will be starting a new course.
All applicants for graduate study at the University of Oxford are eligible. Clarendon scholars come from all continents in the world.
All degree-bearing courses at graduate level are eligible.
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 programmes. A list of the all the graduate courses offered by the University of Oxford can be found on the Graduate Course Guide.
All subjects can be funded by a Clarendon Scholarship. There is no quota by subject or preference for any particular course type.
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).
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 in 2010-11 is GBP£13,590, 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.
