The Medlock Scholarship is awarded for academic achievement. In order to be eligible, students must achieve three or more grade As at A Level (excluding General Studies) 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. It allowed me to pay for extra items needed for my course".

Another ex-student stated, "The Medlock Scholarship has been extremely helpful and I feel it has made a big difference to the way I have progressed through the year... As I'm studying Medicine there has been equipment that I have been able to purchase to give me more opportunities for practising medical skills – a stethoscope and a manual blood pressure cuff and monitor... The money also helped with membership of sports clubs and the use of sports facilities at the university."
