Expanding the college’s graduate scholarship programme occupies a vital role in the college’s Five-Year Strategy, particularly for those studying the Humanities, where external funding has been so squeezed in recent years. 

Graduates are the academics, researchers and industry-leaders of the future and a key driving force behind the University’s ground-breaking research. They make an enormous contribution to college life and to the college’s reputation for academic excellence. The creation of a new scholarship in Dame Hilary’s name will help Trinity and Oxford to attract outstanding applicants, and provide funding to enable the holder to make the most of the opportunities available here.
