The Thouron Scholarship

The Thouron Scholarship is awarded each year to nine undergraduate students from Harvard, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. To apply for the scholarship students need to be in their second or third years at university, have an outstanding record of scholarship (GPA of at least 3.5) and extracurricular activity, and a clear reason for wishing to study on the Pembroke-King’s Programme. Students should also demonstrate personal qualities that will make them good ambassadors for the United States and their respective universities. Applicants should not have had prior study abroad experience and they must be US citizens.

The Thouron family, known for its generous commitment to trans-Atlantic academic exchange at the graduate level, inaugurated the scholarship to give undergraduate students an understanding of both the shared and differing aspects of British and American culture. Through exposure to the world-renowned supervision system students will be challenged intellectually, and through engagement with a wide range of carefully tailored extracurricular experiences they will have an enriching cultural experience. The John Thouron Prize covers the costs of tuition, room and board, and travel to and from the United States.

Students at Harvard, Yale or the University of Pennsylvania wishing to apply for the Thouron Scholarship should contact their respective study abroad office for further information.
