Clarendon Scholarships at University of Oxford 2013/2014

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.

All degree-bearing graduate courses in all
subjects 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, MPP)
and all DPhil programmes. A list of all the
graduate courses offered by the
University of Oxford can be found on the
Graduate Course Guide.
Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma
courses are not eligible for this
scholarship.

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.
