Oxford University
Funding for international students
Scholarships for overseas students following undergraduate courses are very limited. Students are usually expected to find an appropriate source of funding in their own country. This page lists the few scholarships that are available. You may also like to use our scholarships search page. See also other sources of funding
Dulverton ScholarshipsA small number of full and partial Dulverton Scholarships will be available for students of outstanding merit and financial need from Eastern/Central European countries (information about eligible countries is available at www.admin.ox.ac.uk/io/).

They will also be available for downloading from the web from the same date at www.admin.ox.ac.uk/io/. Oxford Students ScholarshipsA number of Oxford colleges offer the Oxford Students Scholarship (OSS) 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. 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. The scholarships are largely financed by undergraduates (jointly with colleges and the University) and cover University and college fees and provide a maintenance grant. Awards are not tenable to read medicine due to the length and expense of this course. How to apply for an Oxford Students Scholarship (OSS) in 2008/09The OSS scheme is only open to students who have a place to study at Oxford in 2008/09. You must apply to UCAS and Oxford as described on the Undergraduate Admissions webpage. If you are informed by email or a letter from the University that you have been offered a place to study at Oxford in 2008/09, you may then be eligible to apply for an OSS. It does not matter if it is an conditional or an unconditional place (although if it is a conditional offer, you will have to meet any conditions specified in the email/letter before your place at Oxford is guaranteed). In order to apply for OSS, you must complete a separate application form. This application form will be available from January 2008 on this webpage and www.admin.ox.ac.uk/io. The closing deadline will be confirmed at the time that the application form becomes available. No other information will be available about the OSS scheme until January 2008. Please note that the name of the scheme may change. If this is the case, the words '(formerly Oxford Students Scholarship)' will appear after the new name to make it clear that it is the same scheme but with a new name.
