Woolf Institute Cambridge Scholarship

The Woolf Institute Cambridge Scholarship is available to PhD applicants in subjects relevant to the work of the Institute, specifically within the fields of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences related to the multi-disciplinary study of relations between Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The scholarship is also available to Masters applicants to the MPhil in Middle Eastern Studies: Muslim-Jewish Relations and is tenable at any College of the University of Cambridge. The scholarship covers tuition fees for both home and international students, as well as maintenance costs for the duration of the course. Approximately 4 awards are available each year. For PhD students, Trust scholarships do not automatically fund the optional PhD writing-up period, but the Trust may provide up to a further 6 months of maintenance to support writing up upon application. Interested applicants are recommended to contact the Woolf Institute to discuss their proposed research topic before applying. The Woolf Institute and the Cambridge Trust will liaise over potential candidates in March/April for admission in the following academic year, and successful candidates will be invited by the Woolf Institute for interview as soon as possible thereafter. The basis of award includes both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit. The awards period runs from the beginning of March to the end of July and is an ongoing process throughout that period.
