About
Scholarship
A number of
Oxford colleges offer Reach Oxford scholarships (formerly Oxford Student
Scholarships) to students from low income countries who, for political or
financial reasons, or because standard educational facilities do not exist,
cannot study for a degree in their own countries. Scholarship winners will
study at University of Oxford, UK under any undergraduate course of study,
except Medicine due to the course length and expense.
