Scholarship update

Graduate study in Oxford is expensive and the impact of increases in tuition fees is being felt by many of our students. As St Antony’s aims to be accessible to the best students from across the world, regardless of their financial situation, student support is the College’s fundraising priority.

DAC Scholarship endowment

With delight, gratitude and appreciation we can announce that we have reached the £1,000,000 target for the endowment of the DAC Scholarship. With this good news, we are able to receive an additional £500,000 from the University in matched funding.

The endowment will ensure that we can provide financial support to students who did their first degree at a university in a Development Assistance Country and have won a place to study at St Antony’s, but are unable to take up that place because of lack of funds.

Your generosity will be life-changing for generations of students to come.

Impact of scholarships

We’ve created a series of videos with St Antony’s students from around the world who will give you an insight into how their lives have been changed by scholarship funding. They'll discuss how scholarships have not only supported their academic journeys, but also enriched their personal and professional growth.
