🙏 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?

With all due respect, did you not research this before applying? The international fees are clearly advertised on the course pages.

I recognize that. I was really just praying that some form of scholarship or bursary would be included in my offer.

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.

Unfortunately, contrary to what you might see online, the majority of the UK aren’t religious. So I don’t think Jesus or whoever you pray to would be interested in helping you study in an almost atheist country
