Reach Oxford Scholarships for Undergraduate Students at the University of Oxford
A number of Reach Oxford scholarships (formerly Oxford Student Scholarships) are offered to students from low-income countries who, for political or financial reasons, or because suitable educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries.
You must apply for admission to the University of Oxford before you can be considered for a Reach Oxford Scholarship.
