This scholarship is not open to applications from candidates who hold deferred offers to start in 2026-27.

Students currently at Oxford are not eligible to apply unless they are already Weidenfeld-Hoffmann scholars.

You must also be offered a place to study on an eligible course, as well as being ordinarily resident in one of the eligible countries.
