Fitzwilliam College Hirst-Player Studentship

The Hirst Player Scholarship is funded from income from the Fund established in memory of Eric Noel Player and Wilfrid Bertram Hirst (both Fitzwilliam Hall 1911-14) to provide bursaries and studentships for Postgraduate students, preferably ordinands, reading for a Degree or a Diploma in Theology. This one-off award provides financial support for maintenance, conferences, research costs, and travel costs for postgraduate students at the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. The award may be given to students needing assistance with fees or living costs, though it is for one year only and cannot be used towards the financial undertaking required for admission to the course. Preference is given to applicants with an intention to take Holy Orders in a Christian Church. Applicants may re-apply in subsequent years if still eligible, and approximately two awards are available each year.
