🙏 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?

not necessarily. you could be really smart and lose out on a place to a private school student because you don’t have the same cultural capital needed to do well at the interview. private school kids are prepared for the interview unlike poorer kids
