How to Apply
- Choose your graduate course & college: Apply for a graduate degree at University of Oxford and select St Antony’s College as your college choice (or accept a transfer of your offer to St Antony’s).
- Meet the course application deadline: Most graduate scholarships require you to submit your University of Oxford application by the relevant January or course-deadline.
- Scholarship eligibility check: Ensure you meet the specific scholarship criteria (region/country of origin, subject area, academic level, etc.).
- Automatic vs separate application: Many St Antony’s scholarships are automatic — once you apply for your degree and meet eligibility, you’re considered without a separate form. If a scholarship requires a separate form (e.g., research-centre scholarships), ensure you complete it.
- Submit required documents: These usually include your degree transcripts, proof of English language proficiency, CV, personal statement, and references. Some scholarships request a separate scholarship application form.
- Await selection & offer: Successful candidates will receive an offer from the University/college and notification of scholarship award.
- Accept your place & scholarship: Accept both the University offer for the course and ensure you accept the college offer at St Antony’s (or transfer the offer to St Antony’s if required).
- Enrol and meet conditions: Once accepted, meet any conditions (visa, fees, residence requirements, annual progress) of the scholarship. Many awards are contingent on maintaining satisfactory academic progress and adherence to terms.
