شروط الأهلية

نظرة عامة على البرنامج

The Clarendon Scholarship is the University of Oxford's flagship fully funded postgraduate award. Around 230 new scholarships are offered each year for master's and DPhil (PhD) students across every subject Oxford teaches — from African Studies and Economics to Engineering, Computer Science and Public Policy. ## Why this scholarship matters for African applicants Clarendon is the single most accessible fully funded route into Oxford for African applicants because there is no separate application — every eligible candidate is automatically considered when they apply for a graduate course by the relevant January deadline. Selection is purely on academic merit and the strength of your research proposal. ## What the award covers 100% of Oxford course fees plus an annual stipend of around £20,000 for living costs, paid for the full duration of your degree (1–4 years). The scholarship is tenable at any Oxford college and is not tied to a specific department or field. ## How the selection process works Departmental panels rank applicants on academic record, references, written work, and the research proposal for DPhil candidates. Top-ranked applicants are nominated for Clarendon and final selection sits with the Clarendon Fund Board. The award is announced between February and April. ## Application tips that move the needle Apply by the January 'Clarendon-eligible' deadline (the earliest of the published graduate deadlines for your course — not the later March round). Invest serious time in your statement of purpose and research proposal: panel members read every line, and a sharp, original research question is what tips ranking decisions. ## Deadlines and intake windows Applications open in early September and the headline Clarendon-eligible deadline falls in early to mid-January. Some courses (notably DPhil in Economics, MBA, MFE) close in early December — always check the course-specific date on the Oxford Graduate Admissions page. ## Useful internal reading - Browse open scholarships: https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/scholarships - How to write a winning scholarship essay: https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/blog/how-to-write-winning-scholarship-essay - Scholarship interview questions for African students: https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/blog/scholarship-interview-questions-african-students Always confirm the live intake on the sponsor's official site before you build a timeline around it.
