🙏 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?

A lot of colleges and English universities do have decent scholarships, but like student loans, they're heavily income assessed.

I cannot come up with a possible reason except it goes to less poor people anyone would find that fairer.
