One Oxford-Thatcher Graduate Scholarship is available for applicants to full-time or part-time graduate courses within the range accepted by Somerville College, with a preference for applicants to courses in Economics. To check whether the course you are planning to apply for is accepted by University College, please review the relevant Course page.
The scholarship is jointly funded by the University and the Thatcher Development Programme at Somerville College. The late Lady Thatcher, studied Chemistry at Somerville College Oxford from 1943 to 1946 and received bursary and scholarship support from the College. Lady Thatcher went on to become not only the first woman but also the first scientist to be Prime Minister of the UK, from 1979 to 1990. Following her death in 2013, Somerville College established the Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust in her memory.
The scholarship covers course fees and a grant for living costs. Awards are made for the full duration of your fee liability for the agreed course. The scholarship is only tenable at Somerville College.
Selection is expected to take place in April 2021.
All eligible applicants will be considered for this scholarship, regardless of which college (if any) you state as your preference on the graduate application form. However, successful applicants will be transferred to Somerville College in order to take up the scholarship.
