Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Oxford

Oxford, United Kingdom

CMRS was founded in 1975 by Drs John and Sandy Fenely: first, to establish in Oxford a permanent institute for the interdisciplinary study of the medieval, Renaissance, and early modern periods; second, to provide academic training for overseas students from all disciplines wishing to complete part of their education at Oxford but who are not matriculated members of the university.

Cason Scholarship Award Program

The Cason Scholarship Award is in memory of Jeffrey W. Cason who served as Dean of International Programs at Middlebury College for nine years. This scholarship is in recognition of his lifelong passion for international teaching, learning, and study abroad. A limited number of students from colleges and universities other than Middlebury will be granted scholarships of $3,000 every semester.

Eligibility
  • Students must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program at a U.S. college or university other than Middlebury College.
  • To be considered, students must be accepted by one of the Schools Abroad and meet all additional application requirements.
  • Preference will be given to students whose home institution’s financial aid is not transferrable.

Financial, Immigration

Cost to attend:

Reed College charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. Reed College encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect Reed's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the Reed College Financial Aid page.

Visa Deadlines and Requirements:

The UK's Immigration Advice Service can help students figure out how to obtain the student visa that is appropriate for them.

New Immigration Requirements for the UK:

By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa, except British and Irish citizens, will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) – a digital permission to travel to the UK. Students can apply for an ETA from later this year through a quick and simple process using the UK ETA app. An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner. ETA applies to: visits of up to 6 months for tourism, visiting family and friends, business or short-term study transiting through the UK – including if you’re not going through UK border control, as well as other times. For more information visit the UK government website’s section on ETA.
