Reach Oxford Scholarship

University of Oxford, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

Reach Oxford Scholarships (formerly Oxford Student Scholarships) fund undergraduates from low-income countries who cannot study for a degree at home for political or financial reasons or because suitable facilities do not exist.

Candidates must first hold an offer of a place at Oxford. Not all colleges offer the scheme each year; successful candidates at non-participating colleges are transferred.
