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.

Funding details

Full scholarship worth about €24,000 per year; tuition fees covered in full; living allowance equal to the UKRI minimum for PhD students (2025/26: £20,780 per year); funding covers the entire fee-paying duration of the studies; only one scholarship awarded each year.

What's required

Applicants must be applying for a degree programme at the University of Oxford at Master’s or PhD level. The programme must focus on global wellbeing or humanitarian issues, such as international development, global health, economics, politics or social sciences with this focus. Applicants from the UK or abroad may apply. A vague connection to the topic is not sufficient; the application must clearly align with the scholarship theme.

How to apply

Submit the standard postgraduate application form for your chosen Oxford programme by the January deadline. No separate scholarship application is required, and eligible applicants will be automatically considered. If you are offered a place, you will also be offered a place at Merton College.
