Every year, at least fifteen full-time graduate students in
the Humanities, chosen from throughout the world in a highly competitive
selection process, enjoy the benefits of this programme: payment of all tuition and college fees, a
generous living stipend, and the exclusive use of Ertegun House.
Ertegun House – a fully modernized, non-residential 1808
building located at the heart of Oxford’s academic community – provides an
environment for study and camaraderie that is unique at Oxford and unparalleled
in the world. Each Ertegun Scholar will
have his or her own dedicated space for research and writing, opportunities to
participate in social occasions and lively lectures, performances, and other
activities developed expressly for the Ertegun Scholars, and access to Wi-Fi,
on-line access to Oxford libraries, and state-of-the-art audio-visual
equipment. The Director of Ertegun
House, a distinguished member of the Oxford faculty, is available full time as
a mentor to the Ertegun Scholars and a resource to help them make the most of
their experiences at Oxford and at Ertegun House.
