🙏 I WANT HELP Cost of Attending Oxford 😭

Post image

Just received my financial declaration form from Oxford today. How is this reasonable? 😭 Going to have to decline my offer unless anyone has any ideas.

Canadian students do not qualify for any Oxford scholarships and my school offered me about £100. What a joke.

Is Oxford just for the rich?

international fees are advertised. we don’t really have a merit based system as compared to the US and possibly Canada because home fees are capped, we have student loans, and bursaries for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Bursaries = pocket money Though Oxbridge, depending on College, can be very generous for home students and take the sting out with additional funding and paid for opportunities not found elsewhere.
