Jenkins Scholarships

The purpose of the Roy Jenkins Memorial Fund is to create scholarships to bring students from the countries of the European Union to study at the University of Oxford, and also to support Oxford students going onto further study in Europe.

The awards, of €15,000 per annum, usually for one year, will enable Jenkins Scholars to study at Oxford for a Master's degree in the humanities or social sciences, the disciplines closest to Mr Jenkin's own political and literary achievements.

Given Mr Jenkin's lifelong devotion to the institutions of the European Communities and the delight that he took in his last years in serving as Chancellor of Oxford, this is widely seen as a most suitable memorial.
