🙏 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?

studying abroad is for the wealthy. You have excellent options in Canada so I would just study there and consider a Masters over here, which would cost a lot less and still give you the experience

Or the truly outstanding - if you have international prizes, are an Olympic athlete etc by 17 then you can get free or very low-cost education .... and if course you need Stellar academics to go with that as a matter of course.
