Dreaming of studying at the University of Oxford without worrying about tuition or living expenses? The prestigious Oxford Clarendon Fund Scholarships are officially open for the upcoming academic intake, offering fully funded graduate opportunities for high-achieving students across the globe.
Are There Any Hidden Charges?
- The Scholarship Itself: The Clarendon Scholarship is 100% free. There are zero application fees, service costs, or hidden processing charges attached to the scholarship.
- The Application Catch: While the scholarship has no fees, applying to the University of Oxford for your graduate course requires a standard university application fee (typically around £75–£100 per course choice). However, Oxford does offer application fee waivers for eligible applicants from low-income backgrounds or specific developing countries.
Is It Open to International and Indian Students?
- Yes, absolutely!
- The Clarendon Scholarship has zero nationality or country-of-origin restrictions.
- International students—including applicants from India—are fully eligible to apply on the exact same competitive terms as UK and home students.
What Does the Scholarship Cover?
Clarendon provides a comprehensive financial package with no partial funding—it covers your entire financial burden:
- Full Tuition & College Fees: Complete coverage of your course fees for the entire duration of your fee liability (whether you are studying a 1-year Master’s or a 3–4 year DPhil/PhD).
- Living Costs Stipend: Generous annual living expense grants tied to the UKRI minimum doctoral stipend rate (ensuring full coverage for a single student living in Oxford).
Who Can Apply? Eligibility & Academic Requirements
- Eligible Programs: All full-time and part-time Master’s and DPhil (PhD) degree-bearing courses across all academic divisions at Oxford. (Note: Postgraduate Certificates and Diplomas are excluded).
- Academic Excellence: Selection is based strictly on academic merit, aptitude, and research potential. For Indian applicants, a stellar academic record (typically a strong first-class degree or a high CGPA, e.g., 3.7+ out of 4.0 or roughly 75%+) heavily strengthens your nomination.
How to Apply (No Separate Form Needed!)
One of the best features of the Clarendon Scholarship is its streamlined process:
- Automatic Consideration: There is no separate scholarship application form. When you apply for an eligible full-time or part-time Master’s or DPhil course at Oxford, you are automatically considered for the Clarendon Scholarship.
- Crucial Deadlines: You must submit your official Oxford graduate admission application by the specific December or January course deadline (depending on your chosen program). Missing your course deadline means missing out on Clarendon consideration entirely.
