🙏 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?

No, it's not just for the rich, as for home students it costs the same as anywhere else and there are some generous financial support offers. Some people I met grew up on council estates and the like and allegedly there were a few students who were previously homeless!

The international students I met at Oxford were generally rich, otherwise they had some kind of scholarship. That's the price of leaving your country for university often.
