The Foundation in its discretion awards Jardine Scholarships annually to students to enable them to attend educational establishments, primarily selected colleges at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge (the ‘Universities’) in the United Kingdom. The Foundation aims to assist scholars who have the potential to become outstanding citizens with a high commitment to the community. Consequently, the selection of candidates is based on a number of criteria, which include academic achievement and academic potential, leadership qualities, and involvement in non-curricular activities and community affairs. The Foundation is seeking applications from postgraduate students who have been provisionally accepted at either of the Universities and will be resident in one of the Foundation’s preferred Colleges. Applications must be made through the Preferred Colleges. General Information 1) Scholarships for postgraduate studies (such as Masters or PhD) are for periods of up to four years. They are tenable for full-time courses at the Universities, with the applicants having been accepted by one of the following preferred Colleges: University of Cambridge University of Oxford Downing Exeter Magdalene Oriel Peterhouse The Queen’s Trinity Trinity 2) Eligibility Applicants must:- a) apply for the scholarships through one of the preferred Colleges (see item 5 below); b) be a national of or resident of Cambodia, mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, for a period of at least 7 years; c) be within the early stages of their career at the time of application; and d) be in a satisfactory state of health. 3) Basis of Selection In making awards, the Scholarship Committee will take into account of not only academic achievement and academic potential but: - a) personal qualities and character with particular regard to the extent to which the applicant has demonstrated exceptional qualities of leadership and fellowship; b) community involvement and activities; and c) other attributes which, in the opinion of the Scholarship Committee, indicate that the applicant is likely to become an outstanding citizen with a high commitment to the performance of public duties and/or community involvement. 4) Value of Scholarships Each Scholarship awarded will generally be sufficient to cover fees, tuition, board and lodging, and reasonable living expenses and travel expenses to and from the chosen educational establishment at the beginning and at the end of the course in respect of which the Scholarship is awarded. The Scholarship will include:- a) University tuition fees payable directly to the University; b) College fees, payable directly to the College; c) an annual stipend to cover board and lodging and all other incidental expenses (the stipend will be payable in three instalments each year, with the first instalment a larger sum to cover initial costs); d) the cost of the UK Immigration Health Surcharge; and e) a standard economy class airfare to be reimbursed at cost to the Scholar from the place of residence to the United Kingdom at the beginning of studies, and for the return journey to the place of residence on completion of the Scholarship period. Consideration will be given by the Trustees to applications for reasonable amounts to fund research and field work. 2 In cases of financial hardship, the Trustees may, in their absolute discretion, make arrangements by way of supplemental awards or such other means as they may think fit to assist Jardine Scholars in meeting their essential expenses. No additional funding is available to support family members. The Foundation places no restriction on family members joining the Scholar in the United Kingdom, subject to them meeting the appropriate immigration requirements. 5) Method of Application Application forms can be obtained from the preferred Colleges or from the Secretaries
