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 the value of about £50,000 in total annually. Students can apply for a fixed amount per year depending on programme of study and fee liability status.
Applications must be sent via email to the Academic Office.
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.
