Supporting our students is a priority for Wolfson College and in recent years the College has been focused on increasing the scholarship support available.

General Information

Applications for all scholarships should be submitted to the University of Oxford under the standard procedure before the December or January deadline, whichever is relevant to your course. Unless specifically stated below, scholarships do not require a separate application in order for applicants to be considered.

Students applying for UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) graduate funding may also be considered for a Wolfson-partnered UKRI award. Preference will be given to applicants who have listed Wolfson as their first-choice college when two (or more) candidates are of equal academic merit. As there are specific eligibility requirements for UKRI awards, information should be sought from the department, faculty or the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT).

Many of Wolfson’s scholarships are partnered with the Oxford University Clarendon Fund. You will be automatically considered for Clarendon if you apply by the December or January deadline, whichever is relevant to your course. You do not need to submit a separate application. Clarendon scholars are selected for their outstanding academic merit and potential and are therefore highly competitive. More information on the Clarendon Fund can be found here.

Any queries about Wolfson scholarships can be directed to the Academic Registrar.

Scholarships available for entry in October 2026 are currently being finalised, and will be published on this page by mid-September.
