In July and August 2003, St. Clare's, Oxford is once again offering IB short courses for students about to start the IB Diploma, and or students between the first and second years of their courses. The nature of the programme, involving experienced, friendly teachers, high quality facilities and resources, as well as full board accommodation and a full activity programme, all in a relaxed environment where we can provide 24 hour supervision without overly restricting the students, is reflected in the costs and fees for the courses. They are excellent courses, and we are proud of that quality, but we recognise that this doesn't make them cheap.

We would like to make it possible for students from a wide variety of backgrounds to participate in these courses. We are therefore offering a programme of scholarships to students who might normally not be able to afford to join such a programme (up to the equivalent of three full awards, though these may be awarded as part awards, depending on the quality of the applications received). The scholarships would extend to the course costs and to St.Clare's accommodation only, but not to travel costs or hotel accommodation.

How to Apply
If any of your students would be interested to apply for these scholarships, which may range from covering 50% of the course and accommodation costs to 100% of the costs, please encourage them to contact us for an IB Summer Institute application form. This can be obtained by email, or downloaded here. The deadline for scholarship applications is given below. The application should be accompanied by a covering letter from the student's IB Course Director to confirm that the student is in need of this sort of support and would be a worthy candidate for a scholarship.

Application forms should also be accompanied by a short statement from the student setting out why they think that they would be a good choice for the award of a scholarship. This could refer to the student's commitment to the ideals of the IB, or to international education, or to other criteria which they feel are more relevant to them personally, but should be a clear statement in no more than 300 words, which will help our panel to decide on the best candidates for the scholarships.

Download the application form and send it by fax, or email or post to Andrew Brown, Course Director.
