Wolfson College is excited to announce the creation and availability of several new scholarships for graduate students beginning their studies in 2018-2019. Throughout the last few years, Wolfson has dedicated substantial funds to increasing scholarship support. In the coming years, Wolfson has promised to provide funding for roughly fifty of its students through full or partial scholarships.

A separate scholarship application procedure is not required for any of these new scholarships. Applications must be made by January for the chosen course. Applications will apply to the university under the standard procedures for graduate degrees. All applicants, regardless of degree programs, will be considered for Clarendon Awards. Graduate students applying for Research Council UK graduate funding will also be eligible for a Wolfson-partnership RCUK award. This award is generally granted to students who have listed Wolfson as their first-choice college.

The Oxford Wolfson Marriott Graduate Scholarship was made possible through a donation by the late Dr. Francis Marriott and a matched award from the university’s graduate scholarship fund. It covers the cost of a full award, including the university composition fee, the college fee, and maintenance costs. Preference is given to applicants who have listed Wolfson as the first-choice college. The Marriott Scholarship is available for students majoring in Biochemistry, Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership, International Development, Islamic Art and Architecture, Linguistics, Mathematics, and Psychiatry.

The Wolfson Harrison UK Research Council Physics Scholarship provides a full-funding award for a DPhil in Physics. It is only open to applicants who are full-time residents of the UK or European Union. The Oxford Wolfson David Thomas Graduate Scholarship in Ancient Documents is also fully funded, but available for applicants from all countries who are interested in studying Greek and Latin papyrology and palaeography.

In addition to these awards, other scholarships include the Oxford Wolfson Ullendorff Graduate Scholarship in Semitic Philology, the Lorne Thyssen Scholarship, the Wolfson Guy Newton Clarendon Scholarship, the Wolfson Isaiah Berlin Clarendon Scholarship in Humanities or Social Sciences, and the Norman Hargreaves Mawdsley AHRC Scholarship.

Additional questions about these scholarships can be directed to the Wolfson Academic Office at +44 (0) 1865 274 100.

Outstanding scholars are invited to apply for the prestigious graduate applicant scholarships at Jesus College. These scholarships support graduate study based at the college for students from the UK and EU, as well as international students. Various awards will be granted based on the area of study.

Humanities and Social Science students are eligible for the Albert Goh and Elizabeth Coupe Scholarship. This award is granted to a one-year Masters applicant in the Humanities or Social Sciences. It is given in the amount of £4000.

Specifically, History students may apply for the Gurnee Hart Scholarship. This award grants up to £5,000 for a one year course, and, again, is available only for students beginning a one-year Masters in History or historical studies.

The Embiricos Trust Scholarship grants up to £13,500 per academic year a maximum of three years to a first-year PhD applicant in Physical Science, Engineering, or Mathematics. Applicants for this award must be of Greek, G reek Cypriot, or British descent and nationality.

The John Killen Scholarship is awarded to one year Masters applicants in the Classics. Preference is given to applicants who are focusing their studies in the epigraphy and interpretation of Linear B, comparative philology, or the archaeology of Greece in the second millennium BC.

Applicants for these awards must have already worked out and guaranteed alternative funding for every year of study. In addition to these scholarships, a Graduate Research Fund is also available. This fund helps with the cost of attending conferences and research visits. However, this must be directly applied for. Graduate students may not undertake external paid work, but there are opportunities to work on a temporary and part time basis (up to ten hours a week).

All applications must be submitted by March 27, 2018. Questions, further information, and applications may be directed to graduate-tutor@jesus.cam.ac.uk.

California Institute of Technology (Caltech) invites qualified first-year applicants to its stellar undergraduate programs. The admissions team reads every application to get to know each student personally before making an admissions decision. Each student is more than a set of test scores and grades.

As a result, the Caltech team looks at academic ability by evaluating recommendations, grades, and test scores. Generally, most Caltech students are gifted in test-taking as a result of high mathematical and scientific abilities, but if this is not the case, the team will look more closely at applicant recommendations and other documents. Applications are not compared against each other, even if coming from the same high school. The admissions team will take into consideration the personal background of each applicant, as well as the secondary school profile.

It is recommended that students who have taken courses or completed research outside of school include those documents in the application. Students should indicate what, exactly, about math and science interests and excites them. The team also likes to read about how future students will impact the labs, classrooms, and community. The essay will ask students to explore and discuss an ethical dilemma that they have encountered.

To apply, students should submit the Common Application or the Coalition Application with specific Caltech questions. Students may also apply through the QuestBridge National College Match. Students should also submit a $75 application fee or fee waiver, standardized tests, teacher evaluations, a secondary school report, and academic transcripts. International students should also submit TOEFL scores and an International Financial Aid Statement of Intent.

International students are those who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Financial aid is limited for international students, so it is important that all students who intend to apply for aid indicate likewise on their applications. International students must also have completed an approved curriculum required by Caltech, including, but not limited to, the IGCSE, O, AS, and A Level curriculums. IB, AP, and other options may also satisfy high school course requirements.

Students may apply as either Early Action or Regular Decision to Caltech. Early Action is non-binding and non-restrictive. However, international students may not receive financial aid if they apply early action. The deadline is November 1, with notifications sent in mid-December. Regular Decision applications must be received by January 3, with responses received in mid-March. For questions on admissions procedures, students should email admissions@caltech.edu.
