T he Oxford Centre for Islamic
Studies (OCIS) is offering up
to five OCIS Postgraduate (PG)
Scholarships to students applying
to undertake graduate study at
the University of Oxford (other
than for postgraduate certificate or
postgraduate diploma courses, part-
time courses, or non-matriculated
courses). The awards will be available
to students ordinarily resident in the
United Kingdom and from a Muslim
community, and students who are
nationals of, and ordinarily resident
in, one of a number of countries in
Asia and Africa (listed opposite). The
awards cover University and College
fees and include a maintenance
grant. Awards may be offered in
conjunction with other sources of
funding, although that will be taken
into account when determining the
value of the award.
Purpose of Scholarships
The purpose of the OCIS
Postgraduate Scholarships is to
encourage students to pursue
studies that will be of benefit to
Muslim society. Scholarships will
be awarded on the basis of academic
merit. For those candidates
ordinarily resident in the UK and
from a Muslim community, a
preference will be given to those
from a financially disadvantaged
background. Applicants must be
able to show how their intended
course of study is relevant to the
Muslim world.
