About this position
PETER BRAAM Scholarship at Merton College, University of Oxford
This scholarship supports postgraduate study at the University of Oxford for students whose degree work is focused on global wellbeing or humanitarian issues. The advert highlights areas such as international development, global health, economics, politics, and related social sciences, with the emphasis firmly on research or study that contributes to people’s well-being.
The award is offered by Merton College in conjunction with the Clarendon Fund, and it is funded through a donation from Dr Peter Braam. The scholarship is described as a full award, covering tuition fees and providing a living allowance for the duration of the fee-paying period. It is a highly selective opportunity, with only one scholarship awarded each year.
The scholarship is open to applicants from the UK and from overseas, and it is available for students applying to a Master’s or PhD programme at Oxford. Merton College indicates that it generally accepts students onto its degree programme, and successful applicants will be placed at the college even if they originally applied to a different one.
This is a topic-specific scholarship for postgraduate study at Oxford, aimed at students whose academic plans clearly align with the advertised wellbeing and humanitarian focus.
