Eligibility criteria

This page is for potential applicants and explains the Clarendon Scholarships eligibility criteria.

Overview	Clarendon Scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding academic merit and potential to graduate students liable to pay the University of Oxford's overseas fee rate. Scholarships are tenable in all subject areas and open to candidates who will be starting a new course.
Selection criteria	See the What is a Clarendon Scholarship page of this website for more information.
Nationality	Applicants liable to pay the overseas fee rate at the University of Oxford are eligible. If you are unsure whether you count as an 'overseas' or international student for fees purposes, the Fee Status page should help. Clarendon scholars come from all continents in the world: from the USA to Australia, Venezuela to Vietnam and from Norway to Nigeria!
Level of study	All degree-bearing courses at graduate level are eligible. This encompasses all full-time and part-time Master's courses (MSt, MSc, BCL/MJur, MBA, MFE, MPhil, BPhil, MSc by Research, MTh) and all DPhil programmes. A list of the all the graduate courses offered by the University of Oxford can be found on the Graduate Course Guide. Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma courses are not eligible for this scholarship.
Subject	All subjects can be funded by a Clarendon Scholarship. There is no quota by subject or preference for any particular course type.
Type of student	Candidates applying to start a new graduate course at Oxford are eligible. This includes students who are currently studying for a Master's degree at Oxford but who will be re-applying for a DPhil (you would be eligible for funding for the DPhil). Students who will continue to study for the same degree at Oxford in the next year are not eligible for this scholarship.
