Admissions

Are you in care and coming to an Oxford open day?

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting young people in care, we are pleased to be able to offer a contribution towards the cost of travelling to Oxford and attending an open day. This would normally be 80% of the total cost of your travel ticket, up to a maximum of £100, but decisions will be made on a case by case basis. For details on how to claim this bursary, please email Sian Renwick or call 01865 280135.
