The Swire Scholarships at St Antony’s are generously funded by the Swire Charitable Trust, founded by John Swire & Sons. Four fully funded scholarships are available to graduate students demonstrating exceptional academic merit and/or potential who will commence study on a course offered by St Antony’s College in 2025/26.
The Swire Charitable Trust has a longstanding relationship with St Antony’s College and has over many years funded numerous scholarships for both students and Academic Visitors, as well as, until 2014, funding the Swire Fellow Professor Rosemary Foot, now an Emeritus Professor at St Antony’s College.
Each scholarship is tenable for up to three years, depending on the course undertaken and subject to satisfactory academic progress.

- Scholars must intend to return to their country/region of permanent residency after completing their course of study.
