REACH OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP
Students should note they must apply for
admission to the University before they can be considered for a Reach
Oxford Scholarship. The University is unable to consider any scholarship
applications from students who have not been offered a place at Oxford.
The University is not responsible for the content of external sites
advertising the scheme and would encourage applicants to read the
following details to check their eligibility.
A number of Reach Oxford scholarships (formerly
Oxford Student Scholarships) are offered to students from low-income
countries who, for political or financial reasons, or because suitable
educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their
own countries.

funding for those candidates who are not offered a scholarship.
