The Medlock Scholarship is awarded for academic achievement. In order to be eligible, students must achieve three or more grade As at A Level and be entering Higher Education.
Funded by The Medlock Charitable Trust, the first scholarships were awarded at the end of the 2001-2002 academic year. They have since been awarded annually, typically to 3 - 4 high achieving students completing the Upper Sixth.
In 2012 each scholarship provided £1,100 per year towards university costs for the first three years of a degree course. Applicants may re-apply for one further year if they are continuing an undergraduate course.
One ex-student commented, "The scholarship is a substantial prize and recognition of the hard work put in over two years at A-level... The scholarship was of great use to me, going a long way towards paying for rent and living costs in each of the three years I have been at Cambridge.
