1. At Cambridge University: an undergraduate receiving financial assistance from his or her college and ranking below a sizar.Certain colleges, including St John’s, Trinity, and Emmanuel, distinguished between sizars and subsizars. Subsizars were not entitled to specific endowments, but were maintained by Fellow-Commoners and Fellows. Originally the subsizar was required to perform various domestic services within the college.
