Jacobson Scholarship in International Law

The Jacobson Fund, named in honour of Mr Alex Jacobson, supports scholarships for postgraduates studying public or private international law at St Catharine's College and the University of Cambridge. Scholarships are awarded for academic excellence. The scholarship is currently in the region £25,000-£30,000 for a single doctoral scholar in Law, renewable for two years on the evidence of satisfactory progress or in the region of £10,000-£15,000 for one or more candidates reading for the LLM (Master of Law) programme. Jacobson scholars reading for the LLM are expected to offer at least three papers from those listed under 'international law'. Where applicants are currently engaged in a course of study, the scholarship is conditional upon the successful completion of their course. If funds remain available for distribution during an academic year, nominal awards and research grants may be made to qualifying candidates.
