Debenham Scholarship

The Debenham Scholarship is generously funded by the Debenham Family in memory of Frank Debenham, one of the members of Scott's 1910-1913 (Terra Nova) Expedition to the Antarctic, and founder and first Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute. The scholarship has been established through a bequest from the late Barbara Debenham, Frank's daughter, in memory of her father and his desire to foster research into the Polar Regions. The scholarship will be awarded to the best applicant for the MPhil in Polar Studies who is not in receipt of another University award. By applying for the MPhil in Polar Studies, applicants will automatically be entered into the competition for this award, as long as their application is received by the application deadline. This prestigious award covers home fees for the duration of the course.
