Scholarships are awarded each year to exceptional students who could not otherwise attend the College. They are offered on the basis of financial circumstances, school record, confidential references and performances in an examination and interview held in Oxford.

No more than two full awards (covering tuition and accommodation fees) are made. Most are partial awards, covering a proportion of total fees.

Attendance in Oxford for interview and examination is required to be considered for a scholarship. The closing date for applications for a scholarship is Friday 5 February 2010. All scholarship candidates would need to attend Scholarship Day on Saturday 27 February 2010.

Bursaries are partial fee awards made on the basis of financial circumstances and likely contributions to and benefit from the IB course at St. Clare's. Some are awarded to applicants who attend the Scholarship Day. Others are made after the award of scholarships, from March onwards before the August of proposed entry, subject to availability of funds. Bursaries usually do not exceed 50% of fees.

Please contact Chris Osbourn, Admissions Registrar, with any questions you may have about the application procedure or Scholarship Day.
