Scholarship Description: The Oxford Graduate Scholarships have been established through a groundbreaking new matched funding initiative to enable the creation of fully-funded scholarships for graduate students of the highest calibre from across the world. 2013-14 will see the very first Oxford Graduate Scholars begin their studies. Scholarships are awarded to applicants who have demonstrated excellent academic ability, who will contribute to the University’s ground-breaking research, and who will go on to contribute to the world as leaders in their field, pushing the frontiers of knowledge. The University contributes 40% of the funds for these scholarships, together with 60% from generous donations provided by numerous supporters of the University and its colleges. Sir John Swire (1948, History), Honorary Fellow of University College (‘Univ’) Oxford, through his family trust has endowed a scholarship fund for the support of postgraduate historians at Univ. Thanks to his generosity, University College offers, each year, a fully-funded scholarship for a three-year DPhil graduate and a fully-funded scholarship for a one-year MSt graduate in partnership with the Faculty of History. The Swire family’s generosity will help to ensure that History at Univ has a very bright future.
