REACH OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP
Students should be aware that they must submit an admission application to the University before being eligible for consideration for a Reach Oxford Scholarship. The University cannot review scholarship applications from students who have not yet received an offer for a place at Oxford. The University does not take responsibility for the content of external sites advertising the scheme and encourages applicants to review the following details to confirm their eligibility.
Several Reach Oxford scholarships (previously known as Oxford Student Scholarships) are available to students from low-income countries. These individuals, due to political or financial constraints, or the absence of suitable educational facilities, are unable to pursue a degree in their home countries.

If your application is successful, arrangements will be made to transfer you between colleges. |
| Other criteria: | This scheme is only suitable for candidates who have received an offer and who are of the highest academic ability. Financial need, social commitment and lack of ability to study for a degree in their own country are also major criteria for selection. Applicants should be intending to return to their country following their studies. Priority will be given to students who have not studied at undergraduate level before. |
