Wolfson College Mary Hesse PhD Scholarship in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

Established in 2018 by a generous bequest from Professor Mary Hesse, a Fellow of Wolfson College from 1965-1992, the scholarship provides at least £10,000 to support a PhD student pursuing research in Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences at the University of Cambridge. The College will also seek partnerships with other University funding bodies in order to increase the amount of the annual award, potentially reaching £17,000 annually, although this is never guaranteed. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic merit and covers fees (both home and international) and maintenance costs for the duration of the PhD course. Applicants must specify Wolfson College as their first or second preference in their admissions application.
