The Williams Papworth Studentship provides full or partial support for students from the Tibetan Plateau or surrounding countries or regions. The studentship seeks to support students committed to the practical application of knowledge and/or the development of ideas. The potential of the applicant to make a significant, positive and forward-looking contribution to his/her own community and the wider world is overall more important than the subject of study, ethnicity or religious affiliation. Past students have studied Criminology, Veterinary Science, Business, Conservation Leadership, Business, Linguistics and Education. Applications from those wishing to study other academic disciples are also welcome although preference will not normally be given to those wishing to study Social Anthropology. The studentship is tenable at any College.
Since 1990, the Davies-Jackson Scholarship has given the opportunity to many American students to experience education and life at St John’s College, and to build a successful career in Cambridge and beyond. Thirty years later, the Davies-Jackson Scholarship is being reformed and will redirect the financial support to students of other nationalities. The key principle remains the same: to support students who are the first in their families to go to University, come from families of modest means and have outstanding academic standard to thrive in the Cambridge environment.
St John’s College therefore proposes to award a Louis Cha Scholarship to enable a student to undertake research in the University of Cambridge in the literature, history, and culture of early and dynastic China (pre-1912). The successful applicant will be selected from those who have obtained a place at St John’s College Cambridge to read for the MPhil or PhD degree in a relevant subject.
The Scholarship is awarded to a woman who is about to start her undergraduate studies at St John’s, has a strong interest in interdisciplinary areas and is passionate about the topic of her study. All female offer holders whose household income is below £85,000 per annum are eligible to apply for the Khattar Harrison Scholarship.
