Website: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/safety/Hardship Grants from the Squire FundThe Faculty received a considerable trust fund endowment from the estate of Rebecca Flower Squire who died on 26November 1898. The income from the trust fund is used to provide Scholarships in Law, and the regulations also permitthe making of grants on grounds of financial hardship to resident members of the University studying law. Theregulations for both scholarships and grants require (i) that the applicant is a British Citizen or a citizen of a country of theCommonwealth; and (ii) that the applicant has ‘declared in writing the sincere intention of qualifying as a barrister or asolicitor or as a teacher of law, and of practising or teaching law accordingly’ (University of Cambridge Statutes andOrdinances 2009, p. 56). In practice, the Managers of the Trust normally make hardship grants only to undergraduatesbecause graduate students are required to confirm, prior to taking up their place at the University, that they havesufficient funds for their studies. Application forms for hardship grants from the Squire Fund are available from Mrs SallyLanham (sal41@hermes.cam.ac.uk) in the Faculty Office.Funding OpportunitiesThe Faculty has a very limited number of trust funds from which grants can be made to students.The Arnold McNair Scholarship Fund supports a one year Arnold McNair Scholarship in the area of international law.The Scholarship is open to any member of the University who has kept at least eight terms and who is a candidate for orhas been classed in either Part IB or Part II of the Law Tripos in the year of application.
