All Clarendon Scholarships are fully funded awards that cover tuition and college fees.

Scholars on a full-time course will receive a generous annual grant for living costs, which will be at least £15,009 (for 2020-21). Also, scholars on a part-time course will receive a study support grant, to assist with non-fee costs.

The scholarship award is normally offered for the full duration for which you are liable to pay tuition fees to the University, which is usually the same as the total period of the course.
