Amos Griffiths Bursary
The Amos Griffiths Bursary scheme has been created through a generous donation from the Freemasons’ Provincial Grand Lodge of Oxfordshire in memory of Dr Amos Griffiths who served as their Assistant Provincial Grand Master.
The Provincial Grand Lodge is part of the United Grand Lodge of England and in accordance with its charitable aims has established this fund to assist undergraduates in need of financial assistance. Dr Amos Griffiths was also a well respected Oxford Consultant Physician and Clinical Lecturer at the University of Oxford.
The Amos Griffiths Bursaries will provide third year undergraduate students with the opportunity to apply for additional funding for their third year of study only.
Award
There are four awards valued at £1,000 available for 2012/13 and these will be awarded for one year only. Please note that applying for an Amos Griffiths Bursary does not affect your entitlement to an Oxford Opportunity Bursary.
