Oxford University Graduate Scholarships for Ukraine
The Oxford University Graduate Scholarships for Ukraine Programme (2024-25) is proudly supported by XTX Markets.
This scholarship programme will offer financial support to applicants who have been displaced by the war in Ukraine. The scholarships are open to nationals of Ukraine who have been displaced by the war in Ukraine, and will provide support for full-time taught master’s students beginning one-year courses at Oxford in the 2024-25 academic year.
The Ukraine graduate scholars will join one-year taught master’s courses across the University of Oxford and they will receive funding to cover their course fees as well as a grant for living costs.
This scholarship programme is designed to assist Ukraine in ‘building back better’, the aim being that the scholars should be able to return and contribute to the reconstruction of Ukraine with the knowledge and networks gained from their one-year course.
The scholarships are open to candidates who meet the eligibility criteria - see the Eligibility section of this page for further details. Eligible courses are available in a broad range of academic subjects.
Each scholarship will cover course fees in full in addition to a £10,000 grant towards living expenses. Free accommodation and meals will be provided to scholars by the participating colleges.
