The Douton Scholarship

The Douton Scholarship was established in 1934 by the Will of the late Mrs A.H.M. Douton, widow of Revd. G.W. Douton (KC 1872), with a gift of £1,161. The Will was explicit in creating a trust, the income of which was to provide an entrance scholarship, or senior scholarship, or exhibition in Classics. Revised in 2020, this award is now a graduate studentship which offers a grant of £15,000 to support an MPhil student in Classics at King's College, University of Cambridge. The award is provided towards the University Composition Fee, and if the amount exceeds the UCF or the UCF is covered by another funder, any surplus can be transferred to a maintenance stipend. The holder of the Studentship will be expected to submit updates on their work for use in reports to the donors, and for possible inclusion in College print and digital publications. They may also be asked to describe their experience at King's and indicate their intentions for the future.
