The Clarendon Handbook

An independent guide to Oxford’s flagship graduate scholarship

One tracker

Eligibility, deadline, documents, apply, after-selection.

A combined planning checklist. It is not an Oxford or Clarendon Fund decision. Look up your course’s December or January funding date on the course page — this handbook does not invent calendar days.

Work the list. Confirm every fact on ox.ac.uk.

This page gathers the handbook’s interactive tools. Progress is local to this browser tab. Completing it does not put you in a University queue and is not an award promise. Official living grant last published: 2025–26 at least £20,780 (UKRI minimum). No 2026–27 living-grant figure is invented here.

Overall progress

1. Eligibility (Yes / No)

If every answer is Yes, you are in the automatic-consideration pool — not an award promise. Detail: eligibility.

Applying for a NEW Oxford Master’s or DPhil (not already on course)?

Will you submit the Oxford graduate application by YOUR course December OR January funding deadline?

Any nationality (Clarendon is open to all)?

Full-time or part-time Master’s/DPhil (not a non-degree visiting stay)?

Outstanding academic record you can evidence (first-class / equivalent potential)?

Automatic-consideration pool — not an award promise.

A No is a planning flag. Confirm the hard lines on the eligibility page and on ox.ac.uk.

2. Course funding deadline

Clarendon needs the December or January deadline relevant to YOUR course. Look it up on the course page. No invented dates. December vs January.

3. Oxford application documents

No separate Clarendon form. Documents page.

4. How to apply

No Clarendon tick box. How to apply.

5. After selection

Use once you are waiting or have a CB1. After selection.

Planning tool only. Not an Oxford or Clarendon Fund decision. Fees are covered for the fee-liability period; continuation charges are not. Full-time living support last published for 2025–26 is at least £20,780 (UKRI min). Part-time study-support is pro-rata as the offer letter / ox.ac.uk states — no invented part-time number.
