Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme (Oxford)

About this scholarship

The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme at the University of Oxford develops the leaders of tomorrow by combining a fully funded graduate scholarship with a structured programme of leadership development, long-term mentoring, and networking. It primarily supports outstanding graduates and professionals from developing and emerging economies who could not otherwise afford to study at Oxford and who are committed to returning home to lead change. The scholarship covers 100% of course fees and provides a living-costs grant of at least £20,780, for the full duration of the agreed course. To be eligible you must be ordinarily resident in one of the eligible countries and be offered a place on an eligible Oxford graduate course; students already at Oxford cannot apply unless they are already Weidenfeld-Hoffmann scholars. To apply, select the programme in the University of Oxford Scholarships section of the graduate application form, submit your application for graduate study by the relevant December or January course deadline, and upload a Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships statement. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed (usually online around April), with decisions expected by the end of May.
