Oxford colleges offer Reach Oxford scholarships (formerly Oxford Student Scholarships) to students from developing countries who, for political or financial reasons, or because equivalent educational facilities do not exist, cannot study for a degree in their own countries. 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.

Value: University and college fees, full grant for living expenses; return flight to the UK at the start and end of the course.

To be considered for the scholarship, you must also write a supporting statement that answers the following two questions in Section E of the application form:

1. Why are you applying for this scholarship and what impact will it have on your career?
2. How would you use the education you receive at Oxford for the benefit of your community?

Scholarship Application Deadline: 26 Feb 2011
