Grants from the Colleges Fund: Notice

18 June 2012

The Council has received the following report from the Committee of Management of the Colleges Fund which under Regulation 4 for the Fund (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 994), it now publishes to the University.

1. The amount available in the Fund for distribution in 2012 is approximately £3,650,000.

2. The Committee of Management has approved the grants to the capital of Colleges to be paid on 30 June 2012 (see the table below).

3. These grants have been calculated by taking account of the model of a standard College with a basic requirement for endowment. The figures take account of the actual endowment requirements of the relevant Applicant College, having reference to numbers of undergraduates, full-time equivalent graduates, Fellows, and College Teaching Officers. The Committee has, however, capped the grant to be made to any one College at 15% of the total available.

4. The Committee of Management has not approved any exceptional grants in addition to the endowment-based grants listed below.
