Jardine Foundation to end Oxbridge undergraduate scholarships after review
The trust will stop covering new Oxford and Cambridge undergraduates starting later this year, ending a program that has run for 44 years.
Jardine Foundation, an educational trust tied to Hong Kong-based conglomerate Jardine Matheson, will end its undergraduate scholarship program for Oxford and Cambridge after a strategic review, the South China Morning Post reports.
According to the foundation’s website, students starting their studies later this year will be the final cohort of so-called Oxbridge scholars covered by the undergraduate program, which has lasted for 44 years.
The foundation said it will redirect the funds to institutions in Asia, while continuing support for current Jardine scholars at the two universities and its 2026 awardees.
It also said it remains committed to improving access to higher education for talented students across the Asian communities in which Jardines operates, and will continue its existing Oxford and Cambridge postgraduate scholarship programs.
