2024/2025 Reach Oxford Scholarship for Developing Nations

Applications are currently being accepted for the Reach Oxford Scholarships, which are designed for students hailing from economically disadvantaged and developing nations. These scholarships provide an opportunity to pursue studies at the prestigious University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Eligible candidates must hold citizenship in countries that receive official development assistance from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC).

The Reach Oxford scholarships, previously known as Oxford Student Scholarships, are specifically tailored to assist students from low-income countries. This support is intended for those who face challenges pursuing a higher education degree within their home countries due to political, financial constraints, or a lack of appropriate educational resources.

Sponsorship for these scholarships is provided by the University of Oxford, and they offer full funding for the chosen academic programs. The host institution for these scholarships is, of course, the University of Oxford.

The exact value of the scholarships is outlined in the scholarship benefits section, and multiple awards will be granted to deserving candidates. These scholarships are available for undergraduate studies and are open to international students.
