College Choice: Not all colleges are able to offer Reach Oxford Scholarships every year. If you are accepted by a college that is not participating in the scheme, this will not prevent you from applying for and being awarded a
scholarship. If your application is successful,
arrangements will be made to transfer you between colleges.


Other Criteria: This scheme is only suitable for
candidates of the highest academic ability who have outstanding examination results. However, financial need and social commitment are also major criteria for selection. Applicants should be intending to return to their country of ordinary residence following their studies.


How to Apply
The application forms are on the Oxford website
(see link below) However, you must apply and be accepted into an Oxford undergraduate programme before you can apply for the scholarship.

This is an annual scholarship so take note and
prepare for next year if you miss it now

Please Note Scholars will be expected to write an annual report about their academic and social activities, and achievements at the University.
Receipt of the award in subsequent years is subject to satisfactory academic progress.
Applicants should be aware that competition for the scheme is very high and the University does not have additional funding for those candidates who are not offered a scholarship.


Deadline: Scholarship application deadline is February, 21 2014 . Exact date to be confirmed later. Admission deadline is usually October 15 the previous each year.
