Oxford & Hill Scholarship
The Hill Foundation is a UK registered charity, which provides scholarships for outstanding young citizens of the Russian Federation or first generation Israelis of Russian descent who wish to study at Oxford University. In addition to scholarships provided by the Hill Foundation alone, three Scholarships for post graduates are provided in partnership with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as Hill Foundation Chevening Scholarships (see below under “Procedure for Scholarships). The Trustees favour candidates who have demonstrated, extremely high academic ability and also personal and social qualities of a high order.
They are looking for young people who intend to develop their careers in their homeland who indicate in their application that they wish to spend their lives in ways beneficial to their home society, whether in business, academic life, public service, the arts or the professions. There is no restriction as to the field of study or area of specialisation in which the scholarships are held. The scholarships may be held for one, two or three years (depending on the course chosen) but the grants for the second and third years are subject to satisfactory progress.
The Hill Foundation will pay all educational costs, including University and College fees, laboratory fees (where relevant), and any other necessary fees. In addition the Scholars are provided with a maintenance allowance of £9,750 (2007/8 rate), which is adequate to cover college accommodation during the academic year. The Foundation will also cover the costs of necessary travel between Russia/Israel and Oxford up to a maximum of £1,000 p.a.
