About Hill Foundation

The Hill Foundation provides scholarships at Oxford University for young Russians of extremely high academic ability. It also collaborates with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office to provide further scholarships jointly with the Chevening Scholarship scheme. The mission of the Hill Foundation is to create a community of scholars and past scholars who share the values of Oxford and work for the betterment of Russian life and culture.

The Trustees look, among those who have been given places at Oxford, for young people who intend to develop their careers in the Russian Federation in ways that are beneficial to their home society, whether in business, public service, academic life or the arts. There is no restriction as to the field of study pursued by holders of Hill Scholarships. They may be held for one, two or three years, depending upon the length of the Oxford degree course to which the student has been admitted. Applications may also be received from citizens of the state of Israel who are of immediate (first generation) Russian descent.

The Scholarships may cover all costs: all university and college fees, maintenance grant (currently £11500 per annum), and laboratory fees where relevant.

The Hill Foundation is a UK Charity (No. 1086396) established in 2001.
