Henry Fellowship

rdf:langString Henry Fellowship

rdf:langString The Charles and Julia Henry Fellowships (known as the 'Henry Fellowships') were initiated in 1930 and are one of the most competitive and prestigious scholarships in the world. The fellowship funds four full-time post-graduate students every year at Harvard University, Yale University, the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. Two students from any British university are funded to study in the US (one at Harvard and one at Yale), and two American students from Harvard and Yale are funded to study at Cambridge and Oxford. The Henry Fellowships are administered according to the 1927 will of Lady Julia Henry, the wife of Sir Charles Henry, an Australian-born philanthropist who became a Member of Parliament in the British House of Commons from 1906. The fellowships are awarded by the Henry Fund, a registered charity which also awards the Jane Eliza Procter Fellowship for British PhD students to study at Princeton University. For the 2019/20 Henry Fellowships, the award covers full tuition, health insurance, £2,500 travel expenses, and a $34,000 maintenance grant (considerably higher than the comparable Kennedy Scholarship maximum means-tested grant of $26,000).
