Jacobson Scholarship in International Law

The Jacobson Fund, named in honour of Mr Alex Jacobson, supports scholarships for postgraduates studying public or private international law at St Catharine’s College and the University of Cambridge. Scholarships are awarded for academic excellence.

Applications will open for the Jacobson Scholarship at the same time as the application window for the PhD and LLM course and must be received by the last day of the PhD or LLM application windows. For the current dates in this application cycle, please refer to the Postgraduate Study page of the University website.

Jacobson scholars reading for the LLM are expected to offer at least three papers from those listed under ‘international law’. View the list of current subject papers and designations.

Where applicants are currently engaged in a course of study, the scholarship is conditional upon the successful completion of their course. If funds remain available for distribution during an academic year, nominal awards and research grants may be made to qualifying candidates.
