Frequently asked questions
Does Clarendon cover full tuition and living costs?
Clarendon covers course fees in full and provides a living grant for eligible students. For full-time scholars the grant is at least the UKRI minimum doctoral stipend rate; the amount changes by academic year. Part-time scholars receive a smaller study-support grant, so verify the value in the official award notice.
When is the Clarendon Scholarship deadline?
There is no single Clarendon deadline for every course. Applicants are considered automatically if they apply by the Oxford graduate course’s December or January funding deadline, whichever applies. Check the exact course page before applying, because missing that course deadline removes the student from Clarendon consideration for that intake.
