Yes, Oxford offers scholarships, though most of its aid goes to graduate students.
For undergraduates, support is limited. Most British and international undergraduates pay fees and living costs, with some college bursaries and hardship funds for students with low household income. There is no simple full scholarship that every undergraduate can apply for.
For graduate students, Oxford has several well-known awards.
Clarendon scholarships cover course fees and include a living grant. If you apply for your course by its December or January deadline, you are automatically considered. No separate application is needed.
Rhodes scholarships support full-time postgraduate study at Oxford, covering tuition, living costs, and travel. Around 100 are awarded each year, and each country or region has its own rules.
Chevening is a UK government award for a one-year taught master’s degree. It covers tuition, a monthly stipend, and travel to the UK. Applicants need a few years of work experience and must return home after the course.
Reach Oxford helps undergraduates from low-income countries, but places are few and the bar is high.
Always check the exact rules for each award on Oxford’s own pages. Deadlines are strict, and some awards only apply to certain courses or countries.
