Check the course and residence rules
This award is not open for every Oxford course or every country of ordinary residence. Ordinary residence concerns where you normally live, not simply your passport; use Oxford’s definition and listed exceptions. Existing Oxford students are generally ineligible unless already Weidenfeld-Hoffmann scholars. Deferred offers are not eligible for this round.
Submit a complete application
- Find an eligible course in Oxford’s official list, then record its exact December or January deadline and admission evidence.
- Prepare the required scholarship statement and explain the connection between your intended career and public benefit.
- Select the scholarship in the graduate form and upload the statement with the complete course application.
- Track the admission decision. Applications held for March reconsideration or placed on a waiting list are not eligible for this scholarship consideration.
Our preparation tip: make your course rationale and scholarship statement consistent without repeating generic praise for Oxford. Explain a concrete problem you want to address, what skills the course adds and how you would use them. Keep your budget separate from the advertised grant until you receive written award terms.
