Girton College Doris Russell Scholarship

The Doris Russell Scholarship is offered by Girton College at the University of Cambridge for students wishing to undertake graduate study in any area covered by the University's Faculty of English. The scholarship provides £6,000 annually to support fees (both home and international) and maintenance costs. The College will also seek co-funding from other University funding bodies to increase the amount of the award, though this cannot be guaranteed. The scholarship is open to both prospective Masters and PhD students studying full-time or part-time, with the award lasting for the duration of the course. Successful candidates of this award become members of Girton College. Applications are welcomed from anyone, with preference given to applicants who list Girton College as their first or second choice in their admissions application. The award is based on both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit.
