Description
The Felix Scholarship enables outstanding students from India to pursue graduate studies in any subject at the University of Oxford, the University of Reading and the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (SOAS). Felix has been supporting students at Oxford since 1991. The scholarships are administered by the three partner universities, with the support of the Felix Trustees. Please see the Felix Scholarship website for more information.
At Oxford, one award is also made each year to a non-Indian student who is ordinarily resident in a low income country outside India. For more information about the non-Indian scholarship, see the Eligibility section on this page.
Benefits
The scholarship will cover 100% of course fees, a grant for living costs (around £19,000) and one return flight from India to the UK. Awards are made for the full duration of your fee liability for the agreed course.
Eligibility
- To be eligible for both the Indian and the non-Indian scholarship, you must be applying to start a new, full-time master's course or full-time DPhil course at Oxford. You must not have previously studied a course at the same level as the course to which you are applying (i.e. if you already have a master's degree, you will not be considered for this scholarship if you are applying for another master's course). You must be unable to take up your place at Oxford without financial assistance.
In addition, for the Indian scholarship, the following eligibility criteria apply:
- You must be a national of and ordinarily resident in India;
- You must have a first-class undergraduate or master's degree from an Indian university;
- You must not hold a degree from a university outside of India (this rule does not apply to study undertaken whilst in receipt of a Felix Scholarship); and
- You are expected to return to India after completing your studies.
One award is made each year to a non-Indian student who is a national of and ordinarily resident in a country (outside of India) which is categorized as Other Low Income Countries or Least Developed Countries on the DAC List of ODA Recipients.
