Decani Scholarship

in Christian Theology and Ministry

Clare College , Cambridge

Clare College announces a postgraduate bursary to be awarded for the next academic year to a mature student in any field of Christian theology who is also interested in playing an active part in the life and ministry of the College Chapel. The award is open to candidates without regard to gender, nationality or denomination and will normally be awarded to graduates who have been approved for a course of studies leading to a Ph.D degree in the University of Cambridge . The suitable candidate will have a commitment to Christian ministry – lay or ordained – as well as a commitment to the academic study of theology in the service of the Church, and will be expected to assist the Dean in the life and ministry of the College Chapel. The award, which is designed to act as a ‘top-up' scholarship to supplement a grant or other means of support, is valued at £5,500. This may include an allowance for housing and meals. It will be awarded for one year in the first instance – from 1 October 2006 – and may be renewed for up to three years.

(Tel: 01223 333206; Email: krl22@cam.ac.uk). The closing date for applications is 18 April 2006 .

Applicants for the scholarship must name Clare College as their College of first choice on the Board of Graduate Studies application forms for admission as a graduate student in the University (CIGAS form A, available from BGS, 4 Mill Lane , Cambridge , CB2 1RZ ), and will be expected to have already established their course of study and, if appropriate, their supervisor.
