The Clarendon Fund is the largest and most prestigious scholarship scheme at the University of Oxford, UK. Every year, it awards over 140 new, fully-funded scholarships to graduate students (Master's and PhD) of any nationality. For the 2026 intake, the scholarship covers 100% of all tuition and college fees and provides a generous annual grant for living expenses (typically at least £18,622 or approx. ₹19.5 Lakhs). What makes Clarendon unique is that there is no separate application form; every student who applies for a graduate course at Oxford by the relevant December or January deadline is automatically considered. It is a "Pure Merit" award, seeking the most academically gifted students globally who show high potential for future impact. Scholars also join the "Clarendon Scholars' Association," a vibrant multidisciplinary community within the university.
