Description
The Crankstart Scholarships (formerly known as Moritz-Heyman Scholarships) provide a programme of enhanced support for UK residents from lower-income households to undertake undergraduate study at Oxford.
This is possible thanks to a generous donation by Sir Michael Moritz and Ms Harriet Heyman. The Crankstart Graduate Scholarships continue this support to graduate level, both for taught and research courses.
The aim of these scholarships, therefore, is to support Crankstart scholars’ progression from their undergraduate courses to taught postgraduate courses, which will prepare them for doctoral study at Oxford.
Benefits
The awards are made on the basis of academic merit and potential and cover course fees as well as providing a grant for living costs.
Eligibility
- Any applicant to any taught postgraduate course, who has at any time been in receipt of funding in the form of a Crankstart or Moritz-Heyman scholarship, will be considered for one of these Scholarships.
