Is there an Oxford scholarship for international undergraduate students?

I'm an international high school junior dreaming of studying at Oxford University. Are there scholarships for undergraduates from abroad, and if so, what are the requirements or deadlines to be aware of?

Yes, Oxford University does offer scholarships that are open to international undergraduate students. For example, one such scholarship is the Reach Oxford Scholarship, which is intended for undergraduate 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.

The value of the scholarship is variable depending on the recipient’s financial need, and covers university fees, college fees, a grant for living expenses, and one return air fare per year. The scholarship is awarded for the full duration of your course, subject to satisfactory academic progress.

Applicants must apply to Oxford University through the normal application process and by the January deadline pertinent to their course. The scholarship is competitive and you need to demonstrate academic merit and potential, as well as financial need.

Once you've received a conditional place from Oxford, you will be eligible to apply for the scholarship. Scholarship applications usually open in January and close in February, but check Oxford's official website for current dates. Note that you have to apply for the scholarship separately from your course application.

Oxford is a very competitive school, so while applying, make sure you have strong academic credentials and a demonstrated interest in your field of study. Good luck with your application!
