Chibnall Bursary

The Chibnall Bursary provides support towards fees and maintenance costs for students at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. This bursary was established by Professor Eric Carlson, Former Chair of the History Department at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, in memory of Professor Marjorie Chibnall, a distinguished medieval historian and Fellow of Clare Hall. The award is given to an outstanding student with financial needs. The bursary is awarded annually to a value of £1,000 and is designated for fees and living costs. While all students are eligible to apply, preference is given to students of medieval history or any period of British history. Recipients must provide a brief written report for the benefactor. Applicants must be prospective students who have been accepted by Clare Hall and can be pursuing either Masters or PhD degrees on a full-time or part-time basis. The award is based on both academic merit and financial need.
