About the University of Oxford Croucher Scholarships
The University of Oxford Croucher Scholarships fund academically excellent students who are permanent residents of Hong Kong to study a DPhil course in a subject linked to the natural sciences, technology or medicine at Oxford. The scheme is jointly funded by the Croucher Foundation and the University of Oxford.
The Croucher Foundation is a private trust set up by the late Noel Croucher, one of the founders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and a British businessman who lived in Hong Kong for over 70 years. It is a private, independent foundation based in Hong Kong, without affiliation to any organisation, and derives direct income entirely from its own investments in different parts of the world.
The scholarship will cover 100% of course fees and a grant for living costs (of at least £19,968). Awards are made for the full duration of your fee liability for the agreed course. The Croucher Foundation will also consider applications directly from scholarship recipients for the cost of airfares and conference attendance.
