About Scholarship

University of Oxford announced a number of Reach Oxford Scholarships (formerly Oxford Student Scholarships) offered to students from low-income countries (see the full list) who, for political or financial reasons, or because suitable educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries.

What does it cover?

  • Duration: 3 or 4 years depending on course length*
  • Value: Course fees, a grant for living costs and one return air fare per year
  • Number: Around 2-3 awards per year

*Receipt of the award in subsequent years is subject to satisfactory academic progress.

How to Apply

  • Applicants must be nationals of one of the listed countries – see the full list here.
  • Candidates must have received an offer to study at the University of Oxford and be of the highest academic ability.
  • Financial need and social commitment are another major criteria for selection.
  • Applicants should also be intending to return to their country of ordinary residence following their studies.

NOTE: Priority will be given to students who have not studied at undergraduate level before.

  • Candidates must make an application to the University of Oxford for an undergraduate course (all subjects in the course listing, except medicine) through UCAS by 15 October 2020, and be successful in gaining a place.
  • The scholarship deadline for 2021 entry: 10 February 2021.
  • The selection process will be undertaken in March 2021.
  • Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application in April 2021.

More details on how to apply for a scholarship for 2021 entry will be made available in January 2021.

NOTE1: Applicants should be aware that competition for the scheme is very high and the University does not have additional funding for those candidates who are not offered a scholarship.
NOTE2: Not all colleges are able to offer Reach Oxford Scholarships every year. If you are accepted by a college that is not participating in the scheme, this will not prevent you from applying for and being awarded a scholarship. If your application is successful, arrangements will be made to transfer you between colleges.
