About

The Jesus College John Killen Scholarship is awarded by the Faculty of Classics to a postgraduate member of Jesus College who is to be admitted for an MPhil in Classics at the University of Cambridge.

Preference is given to those with an interest in any of the following areas: the epigraphy and interpretation of Linear B; comparative philology; or the archaeology of Greece in the second millennium BC.

The award is possible due to a generous donation from William and Patricia Burnside. The John Killen Scholarship is named in recognition of Professor Killen’s contribution to teaching and research at Jesus College where he is an Emeritus Fellow.
