The Jenkins Memorial Fund was established in honour of the late Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, former Chancellor of the University. The scholarships will be available for students from other Universities within the Europaeum, an association of leading European universities, who will be embarking on a course of study in the Humanities or Social Sciences in October 2012. 

Up to four scholarships will be awarded, and will each last 1 year.
