TYPE OF CONTEST: Scholarship
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Home to one of the most respected publishing house and host to recognized researches, Oxford offers a conducive environment to start your college education and career preparation. Oxford University offers students from developing countries opportunities to study at its prestigious schools and departments. The Rhodes Oxford University Scholarship is a collaboration between Oxford University and Rhodes Trust to Graduate students to study Master’s program at Oxford. Oxford University has an opportunity for undergraduates from developing countries to receive full funding to pursue an undergraduate course.
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.
ELIGIBILITY:
- Nationality: 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):
College: 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.
Other criteria: This scheme is only suitable for candidates of the highest academic ability who have outstanding examination results. However, 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.
RULES AND REGULATIONS: Full rules and regulations can be found here
PRIZE: University fees and college fees, a grant for living expenses and one return air fare per year
Scholarship Duration: 3 or 4 years depending on course length
HOW TO APPLY: You must make an application to the university through UCAS by 15 October and be successful in gaining a place. You will then need to complete a separate scholarship application form and arrange for two references to be submitted on your behalf. Please note that we cannot consider applications from candidates who have not been offered a place at Oxford.
