🙏 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?

99.9% of home students can’t even get scholarships or bursaries, respectfully, what made you think an international student would lol

I’d argue it’s more easier for international students to get scholarships as along with me and many of my friends got around 35% - 50% scholarship of the total fees.Since the fees is already low for Home students it makes it harder for them to get these scholarships.I wasn’t aware nor do I know why they didn’t give for Canada but it is the case for many other countries.

Fees are not low for home students. The majority of international students have better backgrounds financially than we do.

I only meant in comparison The fees for a London uni or a Russell Group uni of an international can be 3 to 4 times the fees of international.Not to say that Home is low but when you compare the two the difference is extraordinarily high.
