Studentship

Studentship

A studentship is similar to a scholarship but involves summer work on a research project. The financial amount paid to the recipient is normally tax-free, but the recipient is required to fulfill work requirements. Types of studentships vary among universities and countries. In the UK, studentships are rarely given out due to limited funding. In North American universities, studentships are more commonly known as teaching and research assistantships. Studentships are almost exclusively awarded to research students, preferably at the Ph.D. level.

At Christ Church, Oxford, however, the term "Studentship" has the same meaning as the term "Fellowship" has at other colleges, i.e. the office of a Student or the duration thereof, or the Students collectively.
