The Berrow Foundation Scholarships for Fellowship

Eligibility Criteria

Berrow Foundation Scholarships

Berrow Foundation Scholars may follow any course of study within the University leading to the award of a higher degree. Candidates must be nationals of, and domiciled in, either Switzerland or Liechtenstein. They should currently be members of one of the following universities: Berne, Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchatel or the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, or should not be more than five years beyond graduation from a first degree at one of these institutions.

Berrow Foundation Lord Florey Scholarships

These scholarships are open to candidates of Swiss or Liechtenstein nationality, domiciled in either Switzerland or Liechtenstein, who are graduates from any Swiss university, including the ETHZ and the EPFL, and who must not be more than five years beyond graduation from their first degree at one of these institutions. They are intended for candidates accepted to read for a graduate degree in medical, chemical or biochemical sciences at Oxford University as members of Lincoln College. The successful candidates will also have access to a generous research fund to assist them to attend conferences at which they wish to present papers or posters.

Prospective candidates should note that research which involves the use of human embryos or their creation, including by cloning, or the use of human embryonic stem cells will NOT be funded by this Foundation. Lincoln College fully respects the Foundation's inability to fund such research. The College, however, welcomes applications from candidates interested in this or related areas of research, who are able to find financial support from other sources.

Offered Benefits

The four Berrow Foundation Scholarships and two Berrow Foundation Lord Florey Scholarships cover all University and College fees, college accommodation costs and a generous living allowance.
