D.H. Mellor Cambridge Trust Philosophy MPhil Studentships

Darwin College offers annually two DH Mellor Masters Philosophy studentships of up to £12,000 to students commencing graduate work in the Faculty of Philosophy. The awards are for students to study at Darwin College. Applications are welcome from students applying to Darwin, or from students who, if applying to other Colleges, are prepared to apply to transfer to Darwin. No special application forms are necessary, and all those eligible will be considered from information contained in their original application to the University. The tenure of the award is for one year, but holders may be considered in subsequent years. Professor D.H. (Hugh) Mellor was a Fellow of Darwin College who died in 2020 and who, with great generosity, bequeathed his estate to the College for the endowment of this studentship fund. The awards cover fees for both home and international students as well as maintenance costs. Darwin College is particularly keen to consider applicants identifying as Black African, Black Caribbean, Black Other, Mixed - White and Black Caribbean, Mixed - White and Black African, or Other mixed background to include Black African, Black Caribbean or Black Other.
