Jardine Scholarship (Oxford and Cambridge)
About this scholarship
The Jardine Scholarship is offered by the Jardine Foundation, the charitable arm of the Jardine Matheson group, to support outstanding students from parts of Asia to study at the University of Oxford or Cambridge. It is a prestigious, fully funded award with a long history, aimed mainly at undergraduates (postgraduate awards also exist) at the foundation’s partner colleges.
The award is comprehensive, covering full tuition and college fees, a living allowance for the duration of the course, and travel support, along with membership of the Jardine scholar community and its events. Scholars study at a partner college at Oxford or Cambridge for the full length of their course.
Eligibility is for citizens or permanent residents of an eligible territory (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and several Southeast Asian countries) who are applying to Oxford or Cambridge at one of the foundation’s partner colleges, with an outstanding academic record and community involvement. You apply to the Jardine Foundation when the annual round opens, apply in parallel to Oxford or Cambridge through UCAS naming a partner college, and shortlisted candidates are interviewed, with awards confirmed once a university place is secured. For top students from these territories, it is a flagship route to Oxbridge.
