Refugee Academic Futures

All applications for the Refugee Academic Futures scholarship will be checked for eligibility and assessed by a panel of academics. The panel will review applicants' admissions application and Refugee Academic Futures application and will agree a priority ordering of candidates within the limits of available funding. All Refugee Academic Futures applicants will be contacted with the outcome of their scholarship application by email, usually by the end of June. Final college placements will also be confirmed for awards that are tenable at specific colleges only. If you are offered and accept a scholarship, this means your funding is now secure as long as you meet the conditions of your offer of a place to study at Oxford.

We will contact you to ask you to apply for these scholarships if you have: applied for an eligible course by the relevant November, December or January application deadline for your course and received an offer; and indicated that you are a refugee/displaced when you applied for your course. Please note, if you do not tick the box on the application form to indicate that you have a displacement background you will not be invited to apply for the scholarship, even if you have mentioned this elsewhere in your application If you are eligible but did not complete the question on your course application about refugee/displaced status then you can still email us (via academic.futures@admin.ox.ac.uk) by 12th April 2024 to confirm that you wish to apply. If you are eligible for these scholarships, you will be considered regardless of which college (if any) you state as your preference on your graduate application form. However, some of these awards are only tenable at specific colleges and successful applicants will be transferred to the relevant college in order to take up the scholarship if applicable.

Does not accept transfer credit.

The scholarships are open to all academic subjects. Each scholarship will cover your course fees and will provide you with a grant for living costs. Awards are made for the full duration of your fee liability for your course. Scholars will be offered opportunities to receive mentoring and a bespoke programme of pre-arrival, on-course, and post-completion support.
