(http://www.st-annes.ox.ac.uk/current/graduate-scholarships)
The College will offer c. 14 Graduate Scholarships to start in 2015/16 (4 of these are reserved for graduate
fresher applicants, therefore there are 10 are available for current St Anne’s students).
WHO CAN APPLY?
Current graduate members of St Anne’s who are doctoral students are and who will have completed their
“transfer of status” before the start of academic year 2015-16.
There are three types of award:
1) A Graduate Research Scholarship which has a value equal to the College fee for 2015-16
2) A Graduate Development Scholarship which has a value equal to the College Fee + College
accommodation at half price or the monetary equivalent for 2015-16.
3) A one off Domus award offering a Scholarship of £500 for one year only.
All Graduate Scholarships are awarded on the basis of proven academic excellence, i.e. the student:
 Demonstrates highly satisfactory academic progress through serious and consistent engagement with
his/her current academic course of study;
 Assumes responsibility for developing and monitoring his/her academic course of study;
 Assumes responsibility for his/her own learning;
 Demonstrates real aptitude and capacity for scholarly academic development.
To this end, the references from Supervisor/Director of Studies are crucial, as are current reports on GSS.
The Awarding Committee for College (usually chaired by the Vice-Principal and the Senior Tutor) does solicit
the views of “experts” in College in the broad fields of the applicants (where they are not already part of the
Committee).
HOW TO APPLY
There are separate (and simple) application forms for each type of scholarship and they are available from the
College website via graduate scholarship page: (also appended here). Please read the instructions on each one
carefully, in particular, the additional documentation required and the submission deadline. Applications
should be submitted electronically, either as a Word or PDF document, to: sophie.okeke@st-annes.ox.ac.uk
REFERENCES

completed their “transfer of status” before the start of academic year 2015-16.

teaching Scholarship and that the post will not detract from your doctoral studies.
2) You will also require a supporting reference from your College Adviser. (You should talk to your College
Adviser without delay in order to understand better the teaching content and organisation of your subject at
undergraduate level.)
