Hilla Ginwala Scholarships for Indian Students at University of Oxford

The Hilla Ginwala Scholarship was set up in memory of Mrs. Hilla Ginwala by her husband Mr. Peston Padamji Ginwala. Mr. Ginwala was a noted Indian barrister who studied at Balliol from 1937 to 1939, and wanted to help Indian students who shared Mrs. Ginwala's love of learning.

What does it cover?
The Hilla Ginwala Scholarship will provide £10,000 per year towards living expenses. The combined Clarendon – Hilla Ginwala award will cover tuition fees and college fees in full as well as providing a grant for living expenses.

Awards are made for the full duration of a student's fee liability for the agreed course. The continuation of your scholarship each year is subject to an annual renewal process based on satisfactory academic progress.

Candidates should be Indian nationals and should be applying to start any new full-time graduate course, with the exception of PG Cert and PG Dip courses, at the University.
