The
Oxford Graduate Scholarships have been
established through a groundbreaking new matched funding initiative to enable
the creation of fully-funded scholarships for graduate students of the highest
calibre from across the world. 2013-14 saw the very first Oxford Graduate
Scholars begin their studies.
Scholarships
are awarded to applicants who have demonstrated excellent academic ability, who
will contribute to the University’s groundbreaking research, and who will go on to contribute to the world as leaders in
their field, pushing the frontiers of knowledge. The University contributes 40%
of the funds for these scholarships, together with 60% from generous donations
provided by numerous supporters of the University and its colleges.
The
Pershing Square Foundation supports exceptional leaders and innovative
organizations that tackle important social issues and deliver scalable and
sustainable impact. The Oxford-Pershing Square Graduate Scholarships for Oxford
1+1 MBA students provide a means to cultivate future leaders who will create
positive change around the world. Oxford 1+1 MBA scholars combine intelligence
and business acumen to result in meaningful and innovative action to
solve problems like poverty, climate change and overpopulation,
particularly in a complex world that changes so quickly. The Pershing Square
Foundation is a private family foundation, established by Karen and Bill Ackman
in 2006, and is based in New York city.
The
scholarship will cover 100% of University and college fees and a grant for living costs (of at least £13,863).
Awards are made for the full duration of your fee liability for the MBA course.
