Award & availability
Stated amount: 2,048,704
- Clarendon offers fully-funded scholarships covering course fees as well as a grant for living expenses for the period of fee liability.
- We support our scholars by reducing the financial barriers to graduate study, enabling our scholars to focus on their studies.
- Furthermore, by offering living expenses, it provides our scholars with the opportunity to live an active life within Oxford and, most importantly, the time to relax and socialise away from their studies. Full-time applicants
- Clarendon scholarships cover course fees in full. This applies to Home and Overseas fee status students.
- Scholars on a full-time course will receive an annual grant for living expenses of at least the UKRI minimum doctoral stipend rate, which is normally sufficient to cover the living costs of a single student living in Oxford. In current academic year scholars receive at least £18, 622 (INR 20, 48, 704). Part-time applicants
- Clarendon scholarships cover scholars' course fees. This applies to Home and Overseas fee status students. And, scholars on a part-time course will receive a study support grant to assist with non-fee costs. Study support grants vary in value -- they may be a sixth, a third or half of the UKRI minimum doctoral stipend rate. The amount of the grant is influenced by the nature and/or duration of the course. A scholar's offer letter will provide details of the study support grant.
- The study support grant may be slightly reduced where course fees cover some other study costs, for example, accommodation while on a period of residential study. We liaise with academic departments to determine the value of the study support grant in these cases. No. Of Scholarship- 200

Selection process
Selection criteria vary slightly depending on the subject area and whether applicants apply for a taught or research degree. As a guideline, applications are assessed against the following criteria: Outstanding academic record An excellent academic record is essential. The majority of successful scholars usually have at least a first class honours degree or its equivalent. For example a GPA score of at least 3.7, if the mark if out of 4, noting that a lot of the Clarendon scholars achieve higher than this score. Or an applicant must have an outstanding academic record at Master’s level, noting that an exceptional Master’s degree can compensate for a moderate first degree performance. Requirements may vary between disciplines and from year to year depending on the strength of the field. Other evidence 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). Future potential and aptitude Particular consideration is given to an applicant’s future academic potential and aptitude of the proposed course of study. This may be assessed by reviewing references and research proposals to determine evidence of an applicant’s aptitude for research, and the likelihood of contributing significantly to the field of study. Student motivation This is assessed through evidence of the applicant’s commitment to the proposed course as well as evaluation of the personal statement and the referees’ reports.
