Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford - Henrietta Jex Blake Graduate Scholarship

Benefit

You will receive a scholarship of approximately 210 EUR to study for a Master’s degree at Lady Margaret Hall (LMH), a college of the University of Oxford. The scholarship runs for 12 months, which corresponds to the standard duration of a Master’s programme. It supports students who would otherwise be unable to afford the tuition fees and costs of studying at Oxford. The scholarship is named after Henrietta Jex-Blake, the second principal of the college from 1909 to 1921 and a leading figure in the early development of women’s education at Oxford.

Eligibility

• Level: You are starting a Master’s degree at the LMH.
• Where you study: You have been offered a place at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, or have applied there.
• Field of study: Anyone can apply.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
• Financial need: You wouldn’t be able to afford to study at Oxford out of your own pocket.
• Grades: As you meet the academic entry requirements for your degree programme, good grades are crucial.

How to apply

You do not need to submit a separate application. Simply apply for a place on a Master’s programme at the LMH, ensure you meet the academic requirements, and observe the application deadlines for the programme. You will then automatically be considered for this scholarship as part of the standard admissions process.

How realistic are your chances?

This funding is tied to a single college in Oxford, meaning that only applicants for a Master’s programme at LMH can apply for it – not the university as a whole. Admission to Oxford is highly competitive, and the college points out that funding cannot be guaranteed. It is best to submit a strong application for the Master’s programme well in advance, as these grants are awarded at the time of admission and are rarely awarded retrospectively.
