University-wide scholarships

Outcomes of University-wide scholarships: Decisions are normally made between March and May.  A notice will be posted on the scholarship webpages below once scholarships have been awarded and successful applicants have been notified. If you have not heard from us by the time the notice is posted, then your application to this scheme has been unsuccessful. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we are unable to contact unsuccessful applicants individually or provide feedback on applications.

University-wide scholarships are graduate funding opportunities available in multiple departments and colleges. A list of university-wide scholarships organised by region is below, with links to further information about each scholarship.

These scholarships are generally fully funded covering all fees and living expenses, although some are partial awards. Most have restrictions on who can apply, for example based on your nationality or the course you wish to study at Oxford. The vast majority of University-wide scholarships are only open to candidates applying to start a new graduate course of study, although a very few may sometimes consider students who are already enrolled. Students who have deferred their place at Oxford are not eligible to apply for these scholarships.

To search the full range of scholarships offered across the different parts of the University, use the Fees, Funding & Scholarship Search tool tool to see what you may be eligible for. If you want to investigate funding managed by external organisations, go to the External scholarships page.
