Financial Support
Wolfson College provides financial support to students through bursaries, awards and grants.
Travel grants are available for Fieldwork and Conference Presentations.
Funding to support travel is available each academic year to Wolfson students presenting at conferences related to their studies or undertaking fieldwork in the UK or abroad.
The College awards travel grants to a value in excess of £50,000 annually. Students can apply for a fixed amount per year depending on programme of study and fee liability status.
Applications are now closed for this academic year. The scheme will re-open over the Long Vacation and applications will next be considered in Michaelmas Term 2025.
This account has been established to support workshops, conferences, colloquia, lectures and seminars organised by Fellows and Students of the College, which will be held for the most part at Wolfson.
The College can provide some financial assistance towards the cost of completing fast track language courses where this is required for your Oxford programme of study. The Academic Office will reimburse up to £150 on receipt of the course completion certificate. You should also provide a statement from your supervisor which confirms that the course is necessary to your studies, as well as proof of payment.

This fund allows Fellows to pursuit their academic work when there are no other resources available. All applications should be made via the form. Any application must be supported by the appropriate evidence.
Applications may be submitted twice termly for consideration by the Academic Fund Panel which meets in weeks 3 & 8. All applications must be completed by weeks 2 or 7.
A Fellow can apply for up to a total of £872.00 per financial year (1 August – 31 July) from a fixed annual budget, and therefore individual awards/full allocation cannot be guaranteed. There may be numerous applications in any one round and the total amount applied for by a Fellow cannot always be granted.
