Reach Oxford Scholarships for Developing Country Students

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 equivalent educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries.

Target students: Applicants must be nationals of countries who receive official development assistance from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

To be considered for the scholarship, you must have made an application to the University through UCAS by 15 October 2019 and been successful in gaining a place.

You will then need to complete a separate scholarship application form.

Scholarship benefits

Tuition fees and college fees, a grant for living expenses and one return air fare per year.

The scholarship duration is 3 or 4 years depending on course length.

These are the requirements to apply for

This scheme is only suitable for candidates who have received an offer and who are of the highest academic ability.

Financial need and social commitment are also major criteria for selection.

Applicants should be intending to return to their country of ordinary residence following their studies.

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