Grants, awards and scholarships

The College provides opportunities for financial support for your studies – see details of some of these below, including the Research Support Grant and Kellogg College Travel Grants. There are also awards for you to consider and sometimes new opportunities arise during the year. These will be advertised in a termly financial support email sent by the Academic Officer to all students, and some opportunities will also be mentioned on the College website.

Scholarships are only usually available for those applying to start a course of study but if you’re thinking of moving to DPhil study in the future we hope you will consider applying for a Kellogg College Progress scholarship.

Please note, due to the wishes of donors or for unforeseen circumstances, sometimes the details of a grant/award may change following publication of this Student Handbook. For up-to-date information on awards please do check on the Scholarships section of our website.

Awards

Kellogg College offers a number of awards and will let you know of any new opportunities as they arise, or you can find details on the College website, including details of former recipients. In 2022/23 Kellogg hopes to offer the following awards:

Monika Tesarova Award

Each year Kellogg College is pleased to offer a Monika Tesarova Fund Bursary of £100 made available due to the generosity of a College Fellow. The Monika Tesarova Fund Bursary exists to support a Kellogg student wishing to invest in their studies or take up an opportunity while studying at Oxford that they would ordinarily be precluded from doing due to financial constraints. While this does not have to be directly relevant to your studies (although it may be), it must be something that you believe will enhance your experience of studying at Oxford.

Look out for eligibility criteria and details of how to apply on the website.

Scholarships

Kellogg College is delighted to offer a wide and varied number of scholarships. Most scholarships exist for those applying to start a programme of study; however, there are very occasional scholarships that are available to students who are already on course. Details of these are advertised on the website as they become available.

If you are studying for a master’s in 2022/23 and are hoping to move on to study a full-time DPhil at Kellogg in 2023/24 you will be eligible to apply for a Kellogg College Progress Scholarship. Competition for such scholarships is high and the numbers of awards limited.

Details of all scholarships offered by Kellogg College will be published at: www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk/study/scholarships
