A demyship (or demy) is a form of scholarship, specifically at Magdalen College, Oxford. Oscar Wilde and T. E. Lawrence were famous recipients, for example. It is derived from demi-socii or half-fellows. Magdalen's founder, William of Waynflete, originally provided them for the College. Recipients (known as demies) are still admitted to the College's Foundation also well as being able to attend certain special ceremonies and dinners.
