Scholarships at Oxford Summer Courses
Understanding Fees, Scholarships, and Funding Options
Many families researching Oxford Summer Courses ask about scholarships or financial assistance. While we do not currently offer scholarships or bursaries, we understand that cost is an important consideration when planning a summer academic experience — especially for international families.This page explains our approach to fees, why scholarships are not offered, and the alternative funding options families commonly explore. Our aim is to be clear, transparent, and helpful, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Do You Offer Scholarships?
Oxford Summer Courses does not currently offer scholarships, bursaries, or need-based financial aid. All students are charged the same course fees to ensure fairness, consistency, and equal access to the full academic and pastoral experience.
Rather than offering limited scholarships to a small number of students, we focus on delivering the highest possible standard of teaching, accommodation, welfare support, and small-group learning for every student who attends.
Why Scholarships Are Not Offered
Our courses are designed around small class sizes, intensive teaching, and comprehensive pastoral care. Fees cover not only academic tuition, but also accommodation, meals, supervision, safeguarding, activities, and 24/7 welfare support throughout the programme.
Maintaining this level of quality requires significant resources and staff-to-student ratios. By applying a consistent fee structure, we ensure that every student receives the same high standard of education and support, without compromise.
What Your Course Fee Includes
Oxford Summer Courses fees are fully inclusive, helping families understand exactly what they are paying for. This typically includes expert-led teaching, small seminar-style classes, accommodation, meals, course materials, academic support, welfare supervision, and a structured programme of activities.
For many families, this all-inclusive approach offers clarity and reassurance. There are no hidden academic costs, and students benefit from a carefully managed experience designed to support both learning and wellbeing.

Alternative Ways Families Fund Their Course
Although we do not offer scholarships, many students attend Oxford Summer Courses using alternative funding routes. These may include family educational budgets, school sponsorships, employer or government education schemes, or external grants offered by charitable trusts or foundations in certain countries.
Some families also use Oxford Summer Courses as part of a broader academic plan — for example, supporting subject exploration, university preparation, or enrichment during school holidays. In these cases, costs may be partially offset through school funding or educational allowances.
Payment Plans and Flexible Options
To help families manage costs, we offer instalment payment plans once the initial deposit has been paid. These plans allow the remaining balance to be spread across agreed dates, helping families budget more comfortably in the lead-up to the course.
Our admissions team can discuss available payment options after booking and guide families through setting up a schedule that works for them, subject to balance deadlines.
Using External Scholarships or Grants
If you are applying for an external scholarship, grant, or sponsorship, Oxford Summer Courses can provide documentation confirming enrolment, course details, and fees paid. This is often required by third-party funders or educational organisations.
While we cannot recommend specific external scholarships, many families research local education trusts, government schemes, or school-based funding opportunities in their home country.
