Reach Oxford Undergraduate Scholarships for Developing Countries

Overview

Each year, Oxford welcomes talented students, at both undergraduate and graduate level, from all over the globe. Our students are attracted by the chance to study at an internationally-renowned university, with outstanding academic achievement and innovation. Undergraduate courses offer students the chance to study their chosen field in depth, while a range of options allows for a wide spread of special interests. Oxford offers undergraduates a unique learning experience through the tutorial system, in which students meet regularly with their college tutor, either on a one-to-one basis or with one or two other students.

Reach Oxford Scholarship

A number of Oxford colleges offer Reach Oxford scholarships (formerly Oxford Student Scholarships) to students from developing countries who, for political or financial reasons, or because suitable educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries. Students should note they must apply for admission to the University before they can be considered for a Reach Oxford Scholarship.
