COLLEGE AWARDS

Christ’s College

ROBERT OWEN BISHOP RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP IN HISTORY

The Scholarship may be used to support a year of pre-Ph.D. independent study, either before or after an M.Phil. degree in History. Previous holders have used the Scholarship for learning a language or mastering an adjacent scholarly field. The Scholarship is also available to provide partial support to candidates for M.Phil. degrees in the Faculty of History at Cambridge.

The Scholarship is open to graduates of any University. They must have received their first degree by September 2011 and not have graduated earlier than May 2010. Holders of the Scholarship must become members of Christ’s College. The Scholarship is currently worth £8,000; it may also pay up to £1,000 as a supplementary allowance for research expenses.

Application forms and further details may be obtained from the Fellows’ Secretary, Christ’s College, Cambridge, CB2 3BU. Completed application forms should be returned to the same address by 1 July 2011.

LEVY TRAVEL FELLOWSHIPS

For study in the United States (open to members of all Cambridge Colleges)

Two Fellowships are offered annually by the Levy Economics Institute at Bard College, New York, in association with Christ’s College, to provide outstanding young graduates in economics, or related subject areas, with the opportunity for a year’s study based at the Institute. The Fellowships may be renewed for a further period of up to one year in appropriate cases.

The Levy Institute has been founded to ‘pursue knowledge of economics that will enable nations to enlarge personal freedom, promote justice, and maintain stable economies with full employment and rising standards of living’. It is interested in research on such issues as unemployment, growth, inflation and deflation, developing economies, government spending and tax policies, trade imbalances, capital investment and productivity, business cycles and economic stability, efficiency and fairness, and other questions that concern nations around the world. The Institute offers special encouragement to applicants with research interests that utilize analyses of the macroeconomic determination of profits and the distribution of income, the rate of return on capital, and saving-investment relationships.

It is expected that one award each year may be made at each of the following levels:

(a)for a postgraduate student already engaged on a relevant research project, beyond the Master’s degree;

(b)for a more senior worker, at postdoctoral level.

The Fellowships will each provide a substantial stipend ($25,000 at the postgraduate level; $40,000 at the postdoctoral level) together with free housing at Bard College, return fares to the United States, and a payment ($1,500 and $3,000, respectively) for travel within the United States. Selection of the Fellows will be made by a Committee appointed by Christ’s College, Cambridge, but candidature is open to all members of the University.

Applications for the 2011–12 Fellowships should be made by 31 March 2011 to the Senior Tutor, Christ’s College, Cambridge, CB2 3BU, and should include a full curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of two academic referees, together with a brief account (1,000 words maximum) of the research area that would be pursued during tenure of a Fellowship.

A small number of bursaries are available to British, Greek and Greek Cypriot students of Jesus College.

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

Elections are made each year to Research Fellowships. The competition is advertised in the Reporter, and is open to persons who have completed, or are near to completing, their doctoral research.

RESEARCH FUNDS

The College makes grants to Jesus College graduate students, subject to availability, to help research students in need with a contribution towards expenses of fieldwork, study travel or attendance of conferences. Applications should be made in advance of the expenditure. There are two different funds available:

The Doctoral Research Fund offers support to Ph.D. students for research expenses. This would include financial assistance for research visits, to attend conferences or courses, and for other journeys which are essential to the student’s course. The fund does not cover the purchase or transportation of equipment or other incidentals or any tuition or College fees. A Ph.D. student is not expected to apply for major support more than once a year.

The Master’s Research Fund offers limited financial assistance for research-related expenses (field trips, archival research, or short research placements) normally to those graduates who are currently registered on Master’s courses recognized by Research Councils for 1+3 studentships. Exceptionally, applications to support the preparation of a thesis by Master’s students could be considered if adequate supporting evidence is provided to show the relationship of the Master’s thesis to doctoral research and/or progression to the doctoral programme. The fund does not cover teaching-related costs (e.g. chemical reagents, equipment, essential photocopying) incurred by students as an integral part of their courses or towards travel on course-organized trips. These are covered by the University fee. The Fund does not cover remedial English or foreign language teaching.

LADY KAY SCHOLARSHIPS

The College proposes to elect a Lady Kay Scholar for a period of up to three years commencing October 2011. The Lady Kay Scholarship was endowed by Sir Edward Ebenezer Kay in memory of Lady Kay and is open to any person pursuing a course of theological study or research in the University who has already obtained a first or second class in any Tripos and declares the intention of seeking Holy Orders in the Church of England. The applicant must be, or become, a resident member of Jesus College.

The value of the Lady Kay Scholarship is £500 per year (for a period of up to three years – one scholar to be in residence at any one time) in addition to £2,000 a year towards the University Fee. In addition, the scholar would normally be eligible for a separate contribution towards College Fees from the Theology and Religious Studies Scholarship.

Applications should reach the Graduate Office at Jesus College by 1 June.

How to apply

All applicants must apply in the usual way to the University of Cambridge through its Board of Graduate Studies at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud. It is important to note that only applicants conditionally offered a place by the Board of Graduate Studies can be offered a College place and considered for a King’s Studentship.

Applicants for the King’s Studentships must complete the application form available on the King’s College website, submit a detailed research proposal, provide references from two academic referees, and be prepared to submit to the Electors to Studentships samples of written work (please limit to maximum 25 pages). These applications should be addressed to the Tutor for Graduate Studies, King’s College, Cambridge, CB2 1ST.

Applicants will also be required to apply for all other research awards for which they are eligible. The value of any Scholarship awarded will be reduced appropriately to take account of payments from other sources, so that the College can maximize the number of students it funds.

Closing dates for applications

The closing date for receipt of application forms and referees’ reports for the King’s Studentships is the first Friday in May 2011. All eligible applicants who by the first Friday in May 2011 have been made a conditional offer of a college place by King’s College will be considered. Application to the University can be a lengthy process, and in light of the delays that may occur between the submission of applications and their receipt by the College, applicants are advised to apply to the Board of Graduate Studies by 31 January 2011. It is the responsibility of all applicants to ensure that their referees’ reports are sent directly to the College by the closing date for applications, and to follow up with the Department and the Board of Graduate Studies to ensure that their application is being processed in a timely manner.

LESLIE WILSON RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP

The College invites applications for a Leslie Wilson Research Scholarship from well-qualified candidates who will be studying at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D. Degree. The Scholarship is tenable for up to three years from 1 October 2011 and there is no restriction of the field of study. Candidates must have graduated at a university before 1 October 2011 and consideration will normally be restricted to those who have obtained, or who have a strong prospect of obtaining, a first class honours degree (or its equivalent).

In determining the value of the Scholarships in individual cases, the College will take into account candidates’ income from all sources. A maximum award of £19,340 per year (at October 2010 values) will be made to a Scholar who has no other sources of finance, i.e. maintenance grant of £13,650, University fees of £3,440, and College fees of £2,250. The successful candidate will receive a minimum award of £500 per year regardless of their resources. Candidates will be expected to apply (where eligible) for state or Research Council Studentships.

Rented accommodation in or near College will be made available during the first year of residence to an unmarried Scholar. A married Scholar will be offered rented accommodation near to the College.

Those wishing to be considered for a Leslie Wilson Research Scholarship must also apply to the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, for admission to the University as a Graduate Student using the usual GRADSAF form which is obtainable from the Board. Preference will be given to those nominating Magdalene as their first-choice College.

Candidates liable to pay University fees at the overseas rate will be expected to apply for Overseas Student Bursaries awarded by the University of Cambridge and organized by the Cambridge Trusts and the Board of Graduate Studies. GRADSAF application forms should reach the Board as soon as possible and not later than 15 October 2010 (new applicants from the USA applying for GATES funding), 1 December 2010 (for applications from current Cambridge students or other USA candidates or from countries other than the USA).

In addition, all candidates should complete a Leslie Wilson Research Scholarship application form which can be found at http://www.magd.cam.ac.uk/proxyadmissions/postgraduate/scholarships-wilson.html or obtained from the Tutor for Graduate Admissions, Magdalene College, Cambridge, CB3 0AG. Applications (five copies) should be returned in hard copy to the Tutor for Graduate Admissions by 1 May 2011; late applications will not be considered.

ROOSEVELT SCHOLARSHIP

The College invites applications for Roosevelt Scholarships from well-qualified British and Canadian candidates who will be studying at the University of Cambridge for the M.Phil. Degree in matters relevant to Anglo-American relations. Successful candidates will have satisfied the provisional requirements of the Board of Graduate Studies of the University of Cambridge and have been accepted for registration on one of its graduate programmes, most probably at the Centre of International Studies.

The Scholarship is tenable for one year from 1 October 2011. Candidates must have graduated at a university before 1 October 2011. Consideration will normally be restricted to those who have a record of academic excellence consistent with the proposed field of study and who can demonstrate the potential to make a significant contribution to the broader life of Magdalene College, as well as to the wider interests of the Atlantic Studies Programme at the University of Cambridge.

In determining the value of the Scholarships in individual cases, the College will take into account candidates’ income from all sources. A maximum individual award (at October 2010 values) of no more than £10,140 (UK scholars) to £10,465 (Canadian scholars, to include ‘settling in’ payment) will be made to a Scholar in 2011. It follows, therefore, that the funding to meet the costs of University and College Fees will have already been met by the applicant.

Rented accommodation in or near College will be made available to an unmarried Scholar. A married Scholar will be offered rented accommodation near to the College.

Candidates liable to pay University fees at the overseas rate will be expected to apply for Overseas Student Bursaries awarded by the University of Cambridge and organized by the Board of Graduate Studies and the Cambridge Trusts.

COLLEGE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS

Each year the College awards a variety of studentships up to the value of three fully funded studentships. These include the Guggenheim, Root, and Wilkinson Studentships. A fully funded studentship, where awarded, would pay a student’s College and University fees at the Home/EU rate and a maintenance allowance of £10,140 (2010–11 rates) a year.

However, candidates registering to study for an M.Phil. will also be considered for an award if they are intending to carry on to a Ph.D. after they have finished their M.Phil.

Peterhouse

RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS

The Governing Body of Peterhouse offers annually a number of Research Studentships, open to men or women; if candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, elections into not more than three Studentships may take place in July 2011.

Candidates should have applied to the University of Cambridge Board of Graduate Studies to start study for the degree of Ph.D. Candidates must be graduates of a university in the United Kingdom or elsewhere: if not graduates they should have graduated by August 2011. They must intend to be candidates for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge. Tenure of a Studentship is subject to the condition that the elected Student be accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies. Application to the Board is made through the Graduate Admission and Scholarship Application Form (GRADSAF).

Application forms for Studentships can be found on the Peterhouse website at http://www.pet.cam.ac.uk or may be obtained from the Senior Tutor, Peterhouse, Cambridge, CB2 1RD. Studentship applications, together with a curriculum vitae, must reach the Senior Tutor not later than 1 April 2011. GRADSAFs, together with the Graduate Studies Prospectus, may be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ.

In awarding Studentships, first consideration will be given to candidates who nominate Peterhouse as their College of first preference in the GRADSAF. Studentships may only be held at Peterhouse. To be a candidate for the Studentships it is not necessary first to seek to migrate to Peterhouse. Successful candidates must, however, do so if they are to hold the Studentship.

Studentships will only be awarded to candidates subject to their obtaining satisfactory results in their current final degree examinations.

An elected Student will be required to come into residence in October 2011. The Studentships are subject to reviews of diligence and progress and are renewable annually for up to a maximum of three years’ total tenure.

The value of a Studentship will be determined after considering a successful candidate’s income from other Studentships or similar sources. A Student without other emoluments of this kind receives a maintenance award set at the value recommended by the Board of Graduate Studies for a home – or an overseas or EU–registered graduate student as appropriate. A Peterhouse Research Student without other income as described also receives direct payment of certain approved fees by the College on the Student’s behalf. The Studentship is thus generally sufficient to cover all fees and basic living expenses. These awards are for study at Peterhouse only.

THE TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN CENTENARY FUND

The Tunku Abdul Rahman Fund was established in 2003 by the Government of Malaysia to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (B.A. 1926, Hon. LL.D. 1960, Hon. Fellow 1960), the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who received his undergraduate degree, his Honorary Doctorate in Law, and an Honorary Fellowship from St Catharine’s College, Cambridge.

The Tunku Fund aims to encourage the development of the Humanities and the Social Sciences in Malaysia. It offers a scholarship for students wishing to pursue Ph.D. research or preparing for this by taking a related M.Phil. Degree. It will also fund small project grants for Malaysian citizens.

THE TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN GRADUATE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP

The Fund provides one scholarship each year to enable an academically outstanding Malaysian student to undertake research with the potential to lead to a Ph.D. Degree in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at St Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge. The Scholarship provides full fees and maintenance. The value of any studentship awarded will be reduced appropriately to take account of any payment from other sources. Tunku Scholars will be registered with one of the following Faculties or Departments of the University of Cambridge: African Studies; Archaeology and Anthropology; Architecture and History of Art; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; Classics; Criminology; Development Studies; Divinity; Economics; Education; English; Geography; History; History and Philosophy of Science; Land Economy; Latin American Studies; Law; Modern and Medieval Languages; Music; Philosophy; Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and International Studies (PPSIS).

Preference shall be given to candidates whose research is of particular relevance to Southeast and/or East Asia.

Applicants to the Tunku Fund must already hold an offer of a place to study at the University of Cambridge.

For further details on how to apply for the scholarship, please visit http://www.caths.cam.ac.uk/tunkuscholarship.

JACOBSON SCHOLARSHIPS IN INTERNATIONAL LAW

Please note that the Jacobson Scholarship has now been awarded for 2010–11 and the College does not anticipate awarding a scholarship until 2013 (for the 2013–14 academic year).

Mr Alex Jacobson bequeathed to the College a sum of money to further the study of international law in the University of Cambridge. The sum so given has been designated the Jacobson Fund in his honour, and supports graduate scholarships for members of the College studying public or private international law. Scholarships are awarded for academic excellence. Preference is given to a member admitted to read for a doctoral degree, and a doctoral scholarship would be renewable for two years on evidence of satisfactory progress. In the absence of suitable doctoral candidates, smaller scholarships may be awarded to members reading for other graduate degrees where the programme of study relates significantly to public or private international law.

Current and prospective members of the College may apply for a Jacobson scholarship, which is currently in the region of £9,000 a year for a single doctoral scholar. The value of any scholarship awarded will be reduced appropriately to take account of any payment from other sources, and candidates are expected to apply for state studentships or other research awards for which they may be eligible. In the case of candidates not already members of the College, preference will be given to those who designate St Catharine’s College first on their University application.

Please note that a separate application to the University of Cambridge for admission to doctoral or other graduate study must be made by the applicant before applying for this scholarship. Information about admissions to the several Law courses is available at the Law Faculty website at http://www.law.cam.ac.uk.

The College expects to announce Jacobson scholarships in June for the forthcoming academic year. To be considered for a scholarship, therefore, candidates must ensure that the completed application form and any supporting documentation is received by the Director of Studies in Law (LLM) by 30 April. Where candidates are currently engaged in a course of study, scholarships are conditional upon the successful completion of their course. If funds remain available for distribution during an academic year, nominal awards may be made to qualifying candidates.

The College offers up to two research bursaries from October 2011 to students from Eastern Europe who are currently studying for (or have already obtained) the M.Phil. or similar degree or are pursuing a comparable one-year postgraduate course in Cambridge, and who wish to go on to the Ph.D. Degree, counting their first year so far as possible towards the time required. These Bursaries are restricted to students who would otherwise be unable to finance their studies, and candidates are expected to have applied to all other sources of financial support open to them.

Bursaries are available to citizens of any of the countries which were part of the former USSR or Yugoslavia, as well as Albania and countries which are not part of the EU, and to citizens of the recent Eastern European members of the European Union. They must not by October 2011 have studied for more than two years in total outside Eastern Europe. An award will be conditional upon the candidate’s being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies. Application must also be made to appropriate public bodies for financial support, see website at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/fees/funding/index.html. Please check the deadline for applications on this website.

For students from outside the EU, each Bursary will cover University and College fees and a maintenance allowance (currently £13,090 a year), less any financial support received from elsewhere, for the minimum further period required for a Ph.D. Students from Eastern European countries within the EU will be eligible for maintenance-only awards provided that they are holders of a fees-only award from a Research Council. All awards are subject to satisfactory progress. A student who is not already a member of Trinity College must become a member of the College on taking up the Bursary.

Further details are available on the Graduate admission pages at http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/proxyadmissions/graduates/studentships/.

KNOX STUDENTSHIPS

Up to three Knox Studentships, tenable from 1 October 2011, are offered by Trinity College. Only citizens of France are eligible. A Studentship will cover all fees and a maintenance allowance (currently £13,090 a year for those undertaking a Ph.D. and £9,280 a year for those undertaking the M.Phil., adjusted proportionally for courses of lesser duration), reduced by the amount of any grant from public or comparable sources, for which due application must be made. The maximum tenure is three years, depending on the course of study which the applicant wishes to pursue at Cambridge and subject to satisfactory progress. A successful applicant must become a member of Trinity College on taking up the Studentship.

Tenure is conditional upon the elected Student being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies to read for a Cambridge postgraduate degree or diploma or to undertake an approved course of research (which may be aiming for a qualification at an institution in France).

PRE-RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP FOR LINGUISTIC STUDY

Trinity College offers each year up to two Studentships of £13,090 (current rate) together with fees and certain allowances, to enable the holder of an AHRC Studentship or similar award to undertake linguistic study, for one year, in preparation for subsequent research. The Studentships are available only to those whose projected subject of research requires a knowledge of some particularly difficult language, and are intended primarily for students wishing to do research in Asian, East European, African or Latin-American studies. For one of the Studentships preference will be given to candidates who wish to study a Slavonic language.

The award will be conditional upon the candidate obtaining an AHRC or similar major research award, and becoming a member of Trinity College. The Studentship may be held first if the holder has permission to defer the tenure of the research award; in other cases it may be held the year after expiry of the major research award.

Trinity Hall

The College runs an annual Research Studentships and Grants competition, and makes a number of awards. Our decisions are first and foremost made on the basis of academic merit. We are also prepared to take into account financial need, often contributing to an individual’s portfolio of funding to make their study at Cambridge possible, though financial considerations are always secondary to demonstrable academic excellence. Such a portfolio may include part scholarships from formal funding and scholarship bodies, private sources of finance, loans, and the like. The values of the Awards are therefore determined case by case.

We give here the conditions that apply to all, and under each specific heading the conditions that are particular to each fund. All the Trinity Hall awards are open to candidates who:

(a)are either already members of Trinity Hall or who have made Trinity Hall their College of first preference on the GAF Form; they are tenable uniquely at Trinity Hall, and for as long as a student remains a member of Trinity Hall;

(b)are (usually first-class) Honours graduates of a respected university (including Cambridge) or other degree- awarding institutions; if not already graduates, they should have graduated by August; confirmation of awards may rely on satisfactory results in final degree examinations;

(c)have been provisionally accepted by their Faculty and by the Board of Graduate Studies to start their study the following academic year; Awards are only tenable by students who begin their course in the Michaelmas Term of the relevant academic year. Candidates should make applications to the University as early as possible; late applications will not be considered.

Bursaries and Studentships can be renewed, depending on the length of the initial award; for M.Phil. students supported with a Bursary or Studentship, reapplication is required; for Ph.D. students, renewal is subject to review of diligence and progress, in the form of an annual progress report and accompanying letter of support from the supervisor.

RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS AND GRANTS

A number of full and part-cost (at Home and EU rates) studentships and grants are awarded annually, covering some or all of the maintenance costs, University and College fees. Trinity Hall does not usually pay the full cost of overseas students who have not been awarded a Cambridge International Scholarship, with the exception of the Trinity Hall Overseas Studentship (as listed below).

Candidates for the Research Studentships and Grants must be applying to read for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge, or, if applying for a one-year course, intending that this should be followed immediately by registration for a Ph.D. in Cambridge.

The Research Studentships and Grants are open to all nationalities and subjects but in particular: (a) nationalities: Central and Eastern Europe, Canada, developing nations; (b) subjects: Engineering or Science, Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, or Mental Health, particularly research into the Court of Protection, and sustainable development of any underdeveloped region of the world.

NIGHTINGALE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS

Open to qualified graduates, of any university and nationality, to conduct (or continue) doctoral research at Cambridge in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, or Mental Health, particularly research into the Court of Protection. The conditions are otherwise identical to those for the College’s un-named Research Studentships.

TRINITY HALL OVERSEAS STUDENTSHIP

A full-cost Studentship, covering maintenance costs, University and College fees, is awarded to an overseas student, applying to read for the degree of Ph.D. in the University of Cambridge, or, if applying for a one-year course, intending that this should be followed immediately by registration for a Ph.D. in Cambridge.
