Ondaatje Scholarship
History of the Scholarship
In 2003 Sir Christopher Ondaatje kindly gave a very generous donation to the University to fund one-year scholarships for Buckingham graduates or for overseas graduates undertaking postgraduate studies at Buckingham, and for Buckingham students attending Massey College, University of Toronto, to undertake postgraduate studies there. Students who obtain a Master’s degree are then eligible to apply to have their PhD studies funded by the University of Toronto.
Scholarship details
We will be offering four scholarships for postgraduate study at Buckingham beginning in September 2017. Each scholarship will be awarded on merit and is open to competition. The scholarships are worth up to £4,000 each towards one year’s postgraduate study.
Application procedure
Anyone interested in applying for the Ondaatje Scholarship should already have the offer of a place at Buckingham for postgraduate study, but cannot apply once they have commenced their Master’s degree. Completed applications should be sent to:
