St John’s College Cambridge proposes to award a Luisa Aldobrandini Studentship to enable a student from one of the Universities of Rome to undertake postgraduate study in the University of Cambridge commencing in October 2010.  The successful applicant will be selected from those who have obtained a place at St John’s College Cambridge to read for the M Phil or PhD degree.

To be eligible for the Studentship to be awarded from October 2010, a candidate must  have obtained or obtain the Laurea from one of  Universities in Rome (Università degli Studi di Roma ‘La Sapienza’, Università degli Studi di Roma ‘Tor Vergata’, Università degli Studi di Roma ‘Roma III’ and Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli in Roma ) between 1^st October 2008 and 1^st October 2010.

The Studentship will be tenable for the duration of the student’s course up to a maximum of three years and will comprise (a) a maintenance grant of at least £10,000 per annum and (b) approved College and University fees. The value of any Studentship awarded will be reduced appropriately to take account of any payment from other sources.

There is no separate application form for this Studentship. Candidates should apply to the University of Cambridge through the University’s Board of Graduate Studies for admission as a graduate student, specifying St John’s as their first choice of College.  The Graduate Application Form can be downloaded from the Board's website  www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud  However, if you would prefer to receive a paper copy of the Graduate Application Form and the Graduate Studies Prospectus please send an e-mail to graduate-admissions@joh.cam.ac.uk giving your postal address.  The papers of those who are accepted by the relevant University department will be passed on to St John’s who will then consider the candidate for a place in the College. All eligible candidates who by May 1^st 2010 have been made a conditional offer by St John’s to read for the MPhil or PhD degree starting in October 2010 will be considered for the Luisa Aldobrandini Studentship.  The successful candidate will be notified by the end of June 2010.

In view of the delays that can occur as a result of sometimes lengthy selection processes in the University departments it is suggested that candidates for the Luisa Aldobrandini Studentship ensure that their Graduate Application Forms reach the Board of Graduate Studies by 31^st December 2009.  Candidates whose forms are submitted after that date will be considered if their forms reach the College in time.
