Prizes and Scholarships
Pump Court Tax Chambers, London - annual graduate law scholarship
We are delighted to announce that Pump Court Tax Chambers in London has generously funded an annual graduate law scholarship at Oxford. The scholarship, worth £10,000 annually, will be given for a student to undertake the BCL/MJur. Available to Home/EU and non-EU students. This scholarship may not be held in conjunction with any other award if the effect would be to take the student’s funding for the year above £12,000.
In awarding this scholarship the selectors will take into account not only the high academic achievement or potential of the candidate and the question of financial means, but also the candidate's interest in studying tax law and in pursuing a career in tax at the Bar.
This scholarship will be awarded for the first time in September 2011 and there will be a reception to launch the generous donation of the scholarship on 25th January, 2011, at the Law Faculty. More details later.

Chartered Institute of Tax Advisers
The Chartered Institute of Tax Advisers (CIOT) offers up to five grants of £3000 each, awarded on a competitive basis each year to students working on PhDs in tax. This is part of the CIOT's objective to assist tax academics through three different initiatives (the other two being sponsorship of the Tax Research Network annual conference and the Centre for Tax Law in Cambridge).
The purpose of the grants is to encourage and help students to complete post-graduate research into tax in the UK and to publish their results. The grants are not intended to meet college fees but to help with, for example, travel costs where the travel is necessary for research or with general living expenses.
The application dates are 1 April and 1 November each year. See the CIOT's website for more information. Any student interested should contact Rosalind Baxter, Head of the Institute's Education Department, by email: Rosalind Baxter or by telephone on 020 7235 9381 or by post at CIOT, 12 Upper Belgrave Street, London, SW1X 8BB.
