Book grant
The College’s book grant scheme awards up to 100% of the amount spent on books, electronic learning resources & academic equipment up to £150, times the duration of the course in years.
Book Grant applications will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the academic year, but not during the Summer or Christmas vacations. All applications must be submitted within the academic year of purchase.
Book Grants may also be used towards the cost of electronic learning resources and academic equipment.
Fast Track Language Courses
The College offers a partial reimbursement of course fees for Fast-Track courses at the Language Centre. This applies only to Fast-Track courses, and not to the General or Academic courses. In the case of Fast-Track courses, students are required to pay for the course upfront and present receipts afterwards, and will receive half the cost as a reimbursement upon successful completion of the course. Further information can be found by visiting this link.
Hawley Fund
The Hawley Fund is intended to provide our students with funding to pursue opportunities and experiences that may be directly or indirectly related to the recipient’s future career plans. The hope is that recipients will use their award to seek out broadening experiences that may help them make good career decisions. These may or may not be directly related to their field of study.
The donor’s wish is to help students who display initiative and enterprise in going after opportunities that will lead to fulfilling and productive careers/lives.
The Hawley Fund aims to fund one to two students per year for either 100% or 50% of the total spend. To apply, please send details of your proposed plans and the relevant costs to the Fellowship and Tutorial Administrator by email: college.office@queens.ox.ac.uk. The deadline for applications is Wednesday of 5th Week in Trinity Term. Applications received by this date will be considered by the Student Finance Committee and the successful recipients notified by the end of Week 7.
University sports subscriptions
Applications for the sports subscription grant are processed once per year, and the deadline for submission is 12pm on Wednesday of 5th Week in Trinity Term. This Grant applies to membership subs only, and is not intended to cover the cost of kit or sports equipment.

Walter Pater grant
The Walter Pater grants are open to both JCR and MCR members and are awarded by a committee of SCR members. The grants provide funding to foster engagement with the arts at Queen’s; they do not support University arts activities nor individual activities. We would generally expect supported events to take place within Queen’s. It is expected that most grants will be not more than £500, but the case can be made for larger amounts up to £1000.
Applications must be submitted by 12 noon on Wednesday of week 2.
