GRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP
Girton College offers a Graduate Research Scholarship to a qualified candidate from the United Kingdom or
overseas, tenable from 1 October 2008. The election will take place in May 2008.

Value
The value of the Scholarship will be determined after consideration has been given to the successful
candidate’s income from other sources: it will normally be the value of a state studentship in covering
University and College fees, and some proportion of maintenance costs. Payments will be made half-
yearly in advance, the first payment being made upon coming into residence, and will be conditional upon
residence in the University in accordance with University rules.

Eligibility
Any candidate is eligible who has graduated, or will have graduated, before 1 October 2008, at a university.
Registered Graduate Students of the University of Cambridge will be eligible. A first-class degree from
the university of origin is almost always required and confirmation of election may be contingent upon
satisfactory results in final degree examinations. It is conditional upon the elected candidate being granted
the status of Graduate Student by the University of Cambridge. The holder must become a member of the
College and will be expected to be a candidate for a Ph.D. degree. Candidates who wish to continue their
research for a fourth year are only considered exceptionally.

Tenure
The tenure of the Scholarship will normally be for one year, and may be renewed for one further year. The
elected candidate will be required to come into residence in the Michaelmas Term 2008 (not later than 1st
October) unless he or she has received permission from the College Council to defer tenure of the
Scholarship.

Application
Application form is attached or can be obtained from the Graduate Secretary, email:
graduate.office@girton.cam.ac.uk. The application form, together with relevant supporting letters, must
reach the Graduate Secretary not later than 31
st
March 2008. It is not sufficient to refer to letters sent to
the Board of Graduate Studies, or to other colleges.

Candidates who are short-listed for the Scholarship may be required to submit a substantial piece of
written work in May. Application for admission to the University via the Board of Graduate Studies is made
through the Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Graduate Application Scheme (C.I.G.A.S.), and the necessary forms,
together with the forms for University overseas bursaries, may be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4
