Scholarship value

Each Scholarship awarded will generally be sufficient to cover fees, tuition, the cost of books and equipment, board and lodging (preferably on a living-in basis where this is available at the University), and reasonable living expenses and travel expenses to and from the University at the beginning and at the end of the course for which the Scholarship is awarded.

The Scholarship will include:

  • university tuition fees payable directly to the University;
  • college fees excluding board and lodging payable directly to the College;
  • an annual stipend to cover board and lodging and all other incidental expenses
  • the cost of the UK Immigration Health Surcharge; and
  • a standard economy class airfare to be reimbursed at cost to the Scholar from the place of residence to the United Kingdom at the beginning of the Scholarship and for the return journey to the place of residence on completion of the Scholarship period.

Internships

Undergraduate Scholars will have the opportunity to participate in a Summer internship programme organised by the Jardine Matheson Group. The programme will involve placements within the Group’s business units, coupled with a learning and development designed to enable interested scholars learn key skills they can use to transition into a work environment.

Scholar and Alumni networking

Current scholars and alumni have access to a global network of other current and former scholars keen to share knowledge and expertise and engage with each other socially and professionally.  Networking opportunities include events that are held throughout the year in various regions and are facilitated by social media platforms and a Scholars Directory.
