Brief Description:

The Charles and Julia Henry Fund supports one year of postgraduate study at Oxford or Cambridge and is not renewable. The award provides tuition, approved fees, a cost of living stipend, and a transatlantic travel grant. One Henry Fellow is named at Yale each year from among the graduating seniors. US citizenship is not required.

Description:

The application process is coordinated through the Office of Fellowships.

The Henry Fellowship values:

a very high, and sustained, standard of academic achievement (GPA 3.8 or above)
evidence of full engagement in the broader intellectual life of the University
participation – and achievement – in relevant non- academic activities, for instance the wider cultural, social, and community life of the University
evidence of the candidate's potential and capacity to make a mark in public life.

Application Information:

US applicants must apply via the Marshall/Rhodes Common Application, accessible via the 'Apply' link.

Please see the description of the Marshall/Rhodes Common Application for details.

Non-US applicants must apply via the "Henry Fellowship for Non-US applicants" application.

•Following the campus application deadline, the Yale committee reads applications and interviews short-listed candidates.
•The shortlist for the Henry Fellowship will comprise students who receive Yale's endorsement for the Marshall/Rhodes scholarships, plus any shortlisted non-US citizens who applied for the Henry only.
• Following the announcements of Marshall/Rhodes selections in the fall, the Henry committee will make their selection from those who remain on the shortlist.

Candidates must apply to the degree program of their choice at Cambridge or Oxford in parallel to submitting an application to the Yale College Henry Fellowship Committee. Since certain popular programs fill up quickly, the Cambridge/Oxford application should be initiated early and must be completed well before the application deadline for the degree course of choice.

Special Eligibility Requirements:

This fellowship is open to seniors intending to attend Oxford/Cambridge after graduating.

US and non-US citizens are eligible to apply. Please note the different application pathways for US and non-US applicants.

Candidates must submit evidence of distinction in some recognized branch of learning; a high academic standard is required. In addition, candidates must present a definite plan of study or research to be carried out, and the proposed work must fall within the university facilities available at Oxford or Cambridge. The choice of subject of study is unrestricted, provided it meets with the approval of the British university that the Henry Fellow will attend. (Henry candidates are responsible for their own admission and placement; see Application Information.)

The Committee will consider only those candidates who will not receive additional financial assistance and who are prepared to give their whole time to the purpose of the Henry Fellowship, i.e., study, active participation in the social and extracurricular life of the college in addition to academic work, and travel.

Restrictions to Use of Award:

This award is only for one year of postgraduate degree study at either Cambridge or Oxford. It may not be deferred, extended, or combined with other awards (although Henry Fellows proposing degree courses of more than one year may--and indeed should--seek funding to support their studies after the first year).
