Corpus Christi College Oxford

Fundraising Ready for our Qunicentenary

Corpus celebrates the 500th anniversary of its founding in 2017. There are a number of major initiatives underway which will celebrate the conttribution to scholarship of Oxford's first Humanist College. First among these will be the building of the New Library, which will house, safely and securely, the Colleges outstanding collection of historic manuscripts and early printed books. It will provide additional space for Corpus student readers and offer researchers from around the world proper facilities to study our unique collection. Our Quincentenary Appeal to support the building of the New Library will be announced in 2012.

Meanwhile, the College is actively findraising for:

  • bursaries to support undergraduates from low-income households,
  • graduate studentships
  • funding for a Tutorial Fellowship in Philosophy
  • a Junior Research Fellowship in History in tribute to Michael Brock CBE, Fellow in History at Corpus 1950-66.
