One of the most important parts of being an Ertegun Scholar, besides all the other many benefits, is the desk space. Every Ertegun Scholar is allocated a desk for their private study, something that no other scholarship in Oxford provides.

Between four and six scholars share a study room and each room will play host to Scholars from different parts of the world, all studying different subjects. Scholars provide an insight into how their desks encapsulate the Ertegun mission.
