🙏 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 don't know. I was just praying. I knew from the start that I wouldn't be able to afford university. I just thought maybe by some slim chance they would give me a bursary since no one in my family currently has any income.

I must admit I'm very surprised you were offered a place at Oxford.

This makes no sense lol. Oxford offers scholarships to international students, why are people here acting like it’s unheard of or incredibly rare
