Central-Oxford University Scholarships

Most scholarships at Oxford are managed by the central Student Fees and Funding team. For details on these scholarships please see the University's Oxford funding webpage. You can apply for many of these scholarships by ticking the relevant boxes on the application form under the University of Oxford Scholarships headings. For some scholarships you may need to make a separate application. The individual scholarship webpages will indicate what application material is required.

You should use the fees, funding and scholarship search which will help you to locate Oxford University scholarships that are specific to you. The search will also give further information on applying for the scholarship and the deadline by which decisions will be made. The School of Geography and the Environment is able to nominate (shortlist) candidates for some Oxford University scholarship and we will notify successful nominees at the beginning of March. Please note that a nomination (shortlist) for a scholarship does not imply that you will be successful. The University funding office will only be able to notify successful candidates - if you are unsuccessful you will not receive notification of the outcome of your scholarship application. If you do not receive a notification by the first week in March to say you are being nominated (shortlisted) for a scholarship, or by the advertised scholarship decision deadline, you will not have been successful.

If you have any queries relating to these scholarships you should read the most popular questions section of the University website and/or submit your query using the online Ask a Question facility.

The Grand Union ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership

In order to be considered for a Grand Union DTP ESRC studentship, you must select 'ESRC Grand Union DTP Studentships in Social Sciences' in the University of Oxford scholarships section of the University's graduate application form. You must also complete a Grand Union DTP Application Form and upload it, together with your graduate application form. Research Council studentships are open to both Home (UK) and International candidates. However, the University is limited to awarding a maximum of 30% of studentships per cohort to International students.

Applicants applying for the MSc who, after completion of their course intend to continue onto the DPhil, are eligible to apply for an ESRC scholarship on a 1+3 or 2+2 basis. Please note that this scholarship is not available for those applying for the MSc courses only. More information can be found on the Grand Union DTP website.

If you do not receive a notification by the first week in March to say you are being nominated (shortlisted) for a Grand Union DTP ESRC studentship, you will not have been successful. 

Most decisions are finalised by April.
