Philanthropy
Apollo endows the Lantern Fund, which underwrites scholarship stipends and travel grants for students representing the university abroad.
Recruitment
Invitations are extended each Michaelmas term following faculty and student-body nomination. Candidates are assessed on demonstrated achievement, character and contribution to university life.
