The Rowan & Jane Williams Bursary Fund

In the final academic year of the Master’s tenure, the College has established The Rowan and Jane Williams Bursary Fund in honour of the Master and Lady Williams to mark their wonderful contribution to the College.

The fund will endow, in perpetuity, up to three bursaries each year. It is hoped that the first of these bursaries will be awarded in Michaelmas 2020.

The Master and Lady Williams believe no one should be put off or prevented from fulfilling their academic potential because of financial constraints. Indeed, the College has long been committed to the principle of ‘needs blind admission’ and that no suitably qualified student should be deterred from applying to Magdalene due to financial concerns.

In recognition of Dr Williams’ home country and the College’s close connection with Wales given our continued outreach and access work in collaboration with the Welsh Government’s Seren Network, one of the bursaries will be awarded to a student from Wales where possible.

Donations in support of undergraduate bursaries, one of the four objectives of the Future foundations Campaign, can be directed to The Rowan and Jane Williams Bursary Fund.

Support from Members who have not previously made a charitable gift to Magdalene or the University will be eligible for matched funding from the Harding Challenge Fund.
