About this Fellowship
Offers approximately 15 awards annually to students who are pursuing a graduate degree in the humanities at the University of Oxford.

These are highly competitive scholarships with over 1,500 applicants for around 15 awards each year, with an average 1.5% success rate for Masters candidates and 1.3% for Doctoral candidates.
Award Value
This award covers full tuition and fees, living stipend (approx. £18,500), and access to Ertegun House.
