[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW there are new scholarships you should took at if your students wants to study at Oxford as a post grad.  The Barry and The Fortescue.  https://www.barryscholarship.org/.  These scholarships provide room, board, tuition and spending allowance and 3 round trips to  home each year.[/quote]

Thanks PP. How does a student get tapped for a nomination for the Barry scholarship? The website says that students cannot apply, they must be nominated. But I don’t see any info on who makes a nomination. Would the student express interest to his or her university, then the university takes it from there?[/quote]

[b]You read well. Technically the Barry is a "prize" not a scholarship, which makes a difference under British tax law. The student is nominated for it - you don't apply. What you should do us read up on the faculty and supporters of the Canterbury Institute, Oxford, who may teach at your child's university and your child should go see them, take their courses and then ask to be nominated. FWIW my DC narrowly missed the Barry because the committee wants to see demonstrated interest in returning to the US to teach. They had everything else, gpa, stats, proposed topic to write on but they couldn't point to any hands on teaching experience[/quote][/b]

For example, at Harvard you would go to this faculty member and ask. https://hls.harvard.edu/today/ruth-okediji-awarded-barry-prize-for-distinguished-intellectual-achievement/  At Princeton it would be Robby George.  But first your student should go to whomever is in charge of the Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright selections at your university and ask them how to get nominated by the Barry.  [/quote]
