Clarendon scholarships

Clarendon Scholarships are awarded to academically excellent students with the best proven and future potential. The scholarships cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for living expenses, and are open to students starting a new course at Oxford. 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. More on www.clarendon.ox.ac.uk .

Requirements:

All graduate applicants regardless of nationality are eligible. 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) .

To apply:

By applying for graduate study at Oxford University (application form for graduate study at www.ox.ac.uk/admissions /postgraduate_courses/apply/application_forms.html) you will automatically be considered for a Clarendon Scholarship.
