University of Oxford 2024 Ellison Undergraduate Scholarship Programme. – Scholarships and Aid

The innovation projects aim to solve global problems through technology and are at the centre of gravity for both EIT and the Ellison Scholars programme. The programme is looking to find outstandingly talented people who have the skills and abilities to contribute significantly to specific projects within our humane endeavours. Exact projects will be determined when students enter the programme.

Undergraduate Ellison Scholars will work on a project year-round, alongside their university studies, and full-time during much of the University’s long vacation (i.e. the summer break). Working shoulder-to-shoulder with world-leading experts to solve real-world problems through technology whilst studying for a fully-funded undergraduate degree at one of the top universities in the world is what sets this scholarship programme apart.

Benefits

• An academic scholarship that funds all course fees at the University of Oxford, with a generous stipend to cover things such as travel, programming, accommodation and living expenses. 
• The multi-year programme includes the equivalent of paid internships, with continued work on a project within EIT’s humane endeavours.
• Join a team with other Scholars and the EIT Faculty of Fellows to work on important projects during the academic year and summers.
• Scholars will have ongoing access to EIT technology and human assets as they continue working toward profound change in their home country and around the world
