Funding and Awards For All Students

Learning Grants

Enrolled Green Templeton students can apply for funding of up to £250 each academic year for full-time students or £125 for part-time students, to support study-related needs throughout the academic year; such as learning a language to enable research of primary sources, purchasing a specialised software package to analyse data, or help with translation or transcriptions.

Clinical medical (BM) students receive a double allowance in their final year to assist with the costs of the final year elective. Medics can find details about Learning Grants for Clinical Medical (BM & GEM) students on the intranet.

Green Templeton Writing Up Bursary

Each Trinity term we usually offer a small number of Writing Up Bursaries to GTC DPhil students who are coming to the end of their doctoral funding during that academic year, to be disbursed in Michaelmas term of the following academic year.

These bursaries are available thanks to the generosity of college donors Professor Catherine Peters (in memory of Dr Anthony Storr), Dr Christian Visdomini, and various donors who have contributed to the college’s Principal’s Fund in recent years.

Green Templeton Childcare Fund

Green Templeton College recognizes that the cost of childcare can be a barrier to student parents/carers participating fully in college and University co- and extra-curricular activities. This is a gesture of support towards Green Templeton student parents/carers with dependent children, and will not significantly supplement regular childcare costs. All currently enrolled Green Templeton student parents/carers can apply for up to £50 per academic year to pay for childcare for a dependent child or children aged under 16, where that childcare will allow the student to participate in the college community or carry out work related to their course of study. This might include, for example:

  • A babysitter/ childminder for an evening so the student can attend an academic or college-life event;
  • Fees for the child’s sports or other after-school/ weekend/ vacation clubs to give the student parent/carer time for academic work which would otherwise be disrupted by childcare;
  • Part-payment for daycare or pre-school fees, especially out of regular provision.

This funding can be claimed at any time during the student’s course, but approval should be sought before the childcare expense is incurred. More information and pre-approval form (SSO login required).

 

Extra-Curricular Activities

Financial support for Oxford University Programme in Languages (Fast Track)

Fast Track is run by the University of Oxford Language Centre. It is an early evening programme of courses lasting a full academic year, currently available in nine languages. Learners are expected to be highly motivated and well organised, and places are limited and competitive.

Green Templeton students who are selected for places on Fast Track courses may claim back 50% of the fee on the following conditions:

  • A student who is allocated a place on a Fast Track course must notify the Academic Administrator at the beginning of the course (by the end of Week 2 of Michaelmas term).
  • The student should successfully complete the course.
  • At the end of the course, the student should produce their certificate and proof of course purchase to the Academic Administrator in order to claim back the appropriate funding.
  • Student has not already received funding for a Fast Track course. Students are able to claim one Fast Track course reimbursement across the duration of their programme.

All Green Templeton students on any programme can apply for this support. Details on how to apply can be found on the intranet.

Students are strongly advised to read the information on the Oxford University Language Centre website before applying. If you have any further queries about this support, please contact the Academic Administrator.

Blues Awards

Green Templeton awards £200 to any of its current fee-paying students who represent the University of Oxford in a full Blue or half Blue sport.

Only one Blues Award will be granted to each student per sports team during their time at Green Templeton.

You may apply for a Blues Award at any time by emailing bluesgrant@gtc.ox.ac.uk with evidence that you have been selected for and played on a University of Oxford team: a scanned, signed letter or a direct email from the Captain, Vice-Captain or Treasurer of the squad concerned, for example. The award will be paid either as a reduction in your battels or as a bank transfer, as you prefer (please note that bank transfers may take up to a month to be processed). You may also apply to the Annual Fund Cultural, Social and Sport scheme for additional help with the cost of your sport.

Email bluesgrant@gtc.ox.ac.uk with any questions.
