This is a dream come true opportunity for the genius students of the undergraduate courses to study in one of the world’s best Universities. Every year, Oxford is providing around 140 scholarships across the Globe to find the brainy and brightest student in different fields. Oxford’s aim is devoted to the advancement of knowledge. Oxford is also covering tuition and college fees, with an ample grant for living costs.

- The selection of the scholar for Clarendon Scholarship is purely based on brilliant academic performance. Scholarships are well-founded in all subject areas and are open to candidates who apply for a new master’s or DPhil course by the January admissions deadline.
- All candidates across the Globe are eligible to apply for graduate study at the University of Oxford.
- All degree courses are eligible at graduate level. This comprises with all full-time and part-time master’s and DPhil courses.
- PG Certificate or Diploma courses are not eligible for Clarendon scholarship.
- There is no preference across the University for any particular subject area.
Selection Criteria:
Selection criteria depends on the course taught or research degree that the applicant apply for.
Generally, estimation of applications depends upon the following criteria:
(a) Academic record:

- information on your overall position within your cohort
- and publications (if applicable).
(b) Aptitude for the proposed course of study:
This may be estimated with the review of your references, research proposal, demonstrated evidence of the aptitude for research, and the prospect you will contribute importantly to your field of study.
