Details

The Jardine Foundation, established in 1982, marks the 150th anniversary of the Jardine Matheson Group. The Foundation offers qualified students from Asia full scholarships to study at Oxford as well as Cambridge Universities. The goal is to develop future leaders who will give back to the communities where the Group operates. Fully funded Jardine scholarship is available for courses at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, with undergraduate courses getting a strong preference at the following Colleges:

University of Cambridge – Downing, Magdalene, Peterhouse, Trinity

University of Oxford – Exeter, Oriel, The Queen’s, Trinity

In addition to scholarships for undergraduate studies, the Foundation also offers a limited number of scholarships for postgraduate studies. The Universities refer the potential candidates at Oxford and Cambridge Colleges who have already been accepted by the Universities.

Each Jardine Scholarship awarded will generally be sufficient to cover fees, tuition, the cost of books and equipment, board and lodging (preferably on a living-in basis where this is available at the University). Further, the students will receive reasonable living expenses and travel expenses to and from the University at the beginning and at the end of the course for which the Scholarship is awarded.

Moreover, the Fully Funded Jardine Scholarship at Oxford & Cambridge will include :

  • university tuition fees payable directly to the University;
  • college fees excluding board and lodging payable directly to the College;
  • Further, an annual stipend to cover board and lodging and all other incidental expenses (subject to the discretion of the Trustees. This will be payable in four installments. The first installment will be larger to cover initial costs);
  • Also, the cost of the UK Immigration Health Surcharge; and
  • 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 the Scholarship as well as for the return journey to the place of residence on completion of the Scholarship period.
