VALUE OF SCHOLARSHIP

All Clarendon Scholarships cover tuition and college fees in full and a generous grant for living expenses.

Scholars on a full-time course also receive an annual grant that is normally sufficient to cover the living expenses of a single student living in Oxford. The grant for living expenses in 2010-11 will be GBP £13,590.

Scholars on a part-time course also 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.

Clarendon scholars come from all continents in the world: from the USA to Australia, Venezuela to Vietnam and from Norway to Nigeria!
