College Choice: 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.
How to Apply
The application forms are on the Oxford website
(see link below)
However, you must apply and be accepted into an
Oxford undergraduate programme before you can
apply for the scholarship
This is an annual scholarship so take note and
prepare for next year if you miss it now
Please Note
Scholars will be expected to write an annual report
about their academic and social activities, and
achievements at the University.
Receipt of the award in subsequent years is subject
to satisfactory academic progress.
Applicants should be aware that competition for the
scheme is very high and the University does not
have additional funding for those candidates who
are not offered a scholarship.
Deadline: Scholarship application deadline is February,
2014 . Exact date to be confirmed later. Admission
deadline is usually October 15 each year.
If you have any questions about the scholarship or
