The Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust (MTST) was established by Somerville College to enable the most promising students to benefit from the unique education and intellectual environment that is offered by the College and University.
The aims of the Thatcher Scholarships are to:
- Foster academic excellence
- Support individuals who have a determination to succeed and have displayed resilience in their personal circumstances
- Equip them to excel in their chosen field
The Thatcher Scholarships cover 100% of course fees and provide a generous grant towards living expenses and travel to Oxford, enabling Thatcher Scholars to graduate free from debt.
