The Jenkins Memorial Fund was established in honour of the late Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, a former Chancellor of the University. These scholarships are for graduates of other universities within the Europaeum (an association of leading European universities).
Am I eligible?
You should be applying to start a new full-time Master's course at Oxford in the Humanities or Social Sciences Divisions. Priority will be given to students applying for one-year, full-time Master's degrees, but students applying for a two-year, full-time Master's degree may also be considered.
Please ensure you meet the selection criteria for your course (see the Course Guide for more information).
You should be a graduate of any nationality from one of the following universities:
| Bologna University, Bologna | Institute of Political Studies (IEP) of Catholic University of Portugal, Lisbon |
| Charles University, Prague | Jagiellonian University, Krakow |
| Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies, Geneva | University of Leiden, Leiden |
| Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, Paris | Complutense University, Madrid |
| University of Helsinki, Helsinki | Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UDF), Barcelona |
Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic merit.
This scholarship is not open to students with deferred entry.
What does it cover?
The value of the scholarship will be around £12,900 per year (exact amount to be confirmed), to be used towards living costs. The award is tenable for one year only; candidates enrolled on two-year Master's degrees are expected to have other funding for the remainder of their study period.
How do I apply?
Apply at the same time as you apply to Oxford by selecting the Jenkins Memorial Scholarship in the Funding section of the University's graduate application form.
In order to be considered for this scholarship, you must submit your application for graduate study by the relevant January deadline for your course (10 January 2014 for Philosophy and Politics & International Relations; 24 January 2014 for all other subjects).
If you do not apply as detailed above by the deadline, you will not be considered for this scholarship, even if you have selected the the Jenkins Memorial Scholarship on the graduate application form.
Additional points to note when applying for this scholarship:
If, following the assessment of the January deadline applications, your department places your application on a waiting list or decides to re-evaluate it against the applications received for the next deadline (14 March 2014), then you will no longer be eligible for this scholarship.
If you are accepted onto a different course from the one you originally applied for, you should contact us as soon as you are notified of the change in order to ensure that your application for a scholarship is maintained on the new course. However, please note that such a change of course may mean that you are no longer eligible for this scholarship.
How will I know if I have been successful?
Decisions are expected to be made in early May 2014. This webpage will be updated as soon as successful candidates have been notified. If you have not heard from us by this time, then your application to this scheme has been unsuccessful. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to contact unsuccessful applicants individually or provide feedback on applications.
