Be sure to consult the Fellowship Website for complete eligibility and competition requirements.
Offers approximately 15 awards annually to students who are pursuing a graduate degree in the humanities at the University of Oxford.
Deadlines are typically in January, but be sure to check the competition website for the current cycle’s deadline.
Students will apply for the scholarship at the same time they apply to Oxford by selecting ‘Mica and Ahmet Ertegun Graduate Scholarships in the Humanities’ in the Funding Section of the University's Graduate Application Form. Therefore, deadlines may vary depending on program of study.
Oxford is immensely proud to be able to offer the Ertegun Scholarships in the Humanities. The University has one goal in mind when selecting Ertegun Scholars: to choose the very best students who will realise Mica Ertegun’s Mission and one day become leaders in their chosen fields.
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.
This award covers full tuition and fees, living stipend (approx. £18,500), and access to Ertegun House.
