Jesus College John Killen Scholarship

The Jesus College John Killen Scholarship is awarded by the Faculty of Classics to a postgraduate member of Jesus College who is to be admitted for an MPhil in Classics at the University of Cambridge. Preference is given to those with an interest in any of the following areas: the epigraphy and interpretation of Linear B; comparative philology; or the archaeology of Greece in the second millennium BC. The award is possible due to a generous donation from William and Patricia Burnside. The John Killen Scholarship is named in recognition of Professor Killen's contribution to teaching and research at Jesus College where he is an Emeritus Fellow. The scholarship provides £9,600 annually for the duration of the course to support both home and international fees as well as maintenance costs. Recipients must be members of Jesus College and are required to complete an annual report during Easter term, which will be shared with the donors who provided the funding for this award.
