St Catherine's College expects to be able to award up to six scholarships of between £2,000 and £2,500 a year, tenable for up to three years whilst the recipient is reading for an Oxford University D.Phil., M.Litt., or M.Sc. by Research degree with effect from October 2007. The closing date for applications is 9 March 2007. For further details please see http://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/admissions_pages/scholarships.htm.
St Catherine's College proposes to elect a Glaxo Scholar with effect from 1 October 2007. The scholarship, worth £1,500 a year, will be tenable for up to two years whilst the recipient is liable to pay University and College fees, and is for students who have a confirmed place on the Oxford University Second BM or accelerated graduate entry medicine course.
Before awarding the Scholarship, the College must be satisfied that sufficient funding is available to cover all costs, including University and College fees and maintenance, for the full duration of the course. For the academical year 2007-08, the University estimates that a single student spending twelve months in Oxford, and living in College accommodation, would need at least £9,750 to cover living expenses, excluding the cost of travel to and from Oxford.
The Scholarship may be held in conjunction with an award from another body and carries entitlement to limited High Table dining rights. It also carries entitlement to up to two years' single accommodation in College or a College House during the scholarship (at the current room charge rate).
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae with a covering letter, including a statement of other means of financial support, to the Academic Registrar, St Catherine's College, Oxford, OX1 3UJ (fax 01865 271768, e-mail academic.registrar@stcatz.ox.ac.uk), to arrive not later than 16 February 2007. In addition, candidates should arrange for two people acquainted with their recent academic work to send a confidential report direct to the Academic Registrar at the same address, by 16 February. The College does not plan to interview candidates for the Glaxo Scholarship (applicants will be notified of the outcome of their applications during the week ending 16 March).
