There are more than 8,000 St Hilda’s Senior Members. The Association of Senior Members (ASM) creates and promotes activities that reconnect former students to each other and the College, including our family garden party (pictured above).
All students of St Hilda's College, including visiting students, can become members of the ASM. A fee of £10, paid annually during an undergraduate or graduate course, is included in battels.

ASM Studentship
All members of the St Hilda’s Association of Senior Members (ASM) are eligible to apply for the ASM Studentship. Those who are not ASM members but who have made a substantial contribution in any form to St Hilda’s College will also be considered. Priority will be given to ASM members.
The ASM Studentship is awarded annually to support independent study. It is designed to help people return to an interrupted academic career or to re-orientate by changing subject. Women and carers who wish to get back into research are particularly encouraged to apply.
The Studentship honorarium is a single award of £4,000. It is not expected that this award will cover the entire cost of a research project. A non-exhaustive list of examples of how the funding may be used is in the Appendix to this agreement.
The holder may also use the facilities of the SCR and St Hilda’s College Library and subject to availability may be granted up to a week’s residence in each vacation, up to 3 weeks in total.
Applications for study to begin in autumn 2026 will be considered during the summer of 2025. All applications should be sent by 31 July 2025.
