HARVARD UNIVERSITY
Funds for International Students
Overview
Information on scholarship, fellowship, and loan funds administered by CGS for international students is presented in this section. Eligibility criteria and application procedures for these funds vary and are discussed in more detail below. In general, applicants must be citizens of the country or countries for which each fund is earmarked. In addition, applicants are generally required to apply through local in-country representatives before coming to the United States. Application deadlines can be 10 to 12 months prior to the start of the academic year in which the scholarship, fellowship, or loan will be granted. Detailed information about eligibility criteria and application deadlines can be obtained from the local in-country representatives. As noted below, several of these funds are Restricted Scholarship Funds, which require Harvard students to be nominated for consideration by their Harvard Financial Aid Office.

NEW scholarships at the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance Oxford University’s new interdisciplinary Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance is offering up to six Institute Scholarships from existing PRS or DPhil students who wish to spend some of their time researching topics connected with Quantitative Finance and who are interested in interacting with scientists and social scientists from outside their own discipline. Currently each Oxford-Man Institute Scholarship gives a student desk space in the Institute, access to the Institute’s computational resources, a £2,000 personal annual research allowance from the Institute and a personal scholarship of £2,000. Scholarship students will play a significant role in the life of the Institute. Please download the scholarship advert for further information and details of how to apply. The deadline for applications is 7 August 2007. After 15 June 2007, if you enter the UK from a non-EU country, or are travelling from the UK to a non-EU country and are carrying 10,000 Euros or more (or the equivalent in other currencies) you will be required to declare the cash to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) at your place of arrival, or departure from, the UK. This applies not only to currency notes and coins but also bankers' drafts and cheques of any kind (including travellers' cheques). Please see the section Bringing Money to the UK for more information. The International Graduates Scheme was launched on 1st May 2007 to encourage international graduates of UK further or higher education establishments to pursue a career in the United Kingdom. For more detailed information about the scheme please click here. The application form (entitled FLR(IGS)) and notes for guidance are available to download from the Home Office website . Important Visa/Immigration Information If you are an EEA national (European Union Countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) or from Switzerland you are entitled to enter the UK freely and have the right of residence for the duration of your course. Guidance notes for EEA nationals can be downloaded from UKCOSA (UK Council for Overseas Student Affairs). All non-EEA nationals must obtain entry clearance (a student visa) before coming to the UK. If you do not obtain entry clearance you will be refused entry to the UK. You should apply for entry clearance as soon as possible after you are offered a place at the University of Oxford, since the procedure can take some time. Some Embassies/High Commissions may ask you to attend an interview and some countries have recently introduced tuberculosis screening requirements. You must make sure that you obtain entry clearance as a student rather than a visitor and try to ensure the visa is issued for the duration of your studies, as it is expensive to extend your visa in the UK. The cost of extending your student visa within the UK is now £295. Further information about entry clearance and the documents required is available at UK Visas.
