Oxford Support

The amount of bursary available varies depending on whether you are in receipt of a Crankstart Scholarship or an Oxford Bursary. If you are a UK resident student and have a household income of £32,500 or less in your first year, you will be eligible for a Crankstart Scholarship and invited to join the programme. Students are only eligible to receive either a Crankstart Scholarship or an Oxford Bursary.  

Crankstart Scholars commencing their studies from 2023 onwards retain access to the Crankstart level of bursary in the above table if their household income increases in later years up to £42,875. If a Scholar's household income rises above this limit they will remain a Crankstart Scholar but will only be entitled to the level of Oxford Bursary equivalent to their latest household income level in the above table.

Oxford Travel Supplement for UK bursary holders 

An Oxford Travel Supplement will be available to all 2020 to 2025-entry Crankstart Scholars and Oxford Bursary holders who are studying for their first undergraduate degree and who live more than 80 miles from Oxford within the UK, to assist with travel costs between their stated home address and Oxford. Crankstart Scholars or Oxford Bursary recipients from the UK will automatically receive a non-repayable annual Oxford Travel Supplement of £220 if you live between 80 and 150 miles from Oxford or £550 if you live more than 150 miles from Oxford. Distance is measured as the direct distance in miles (sometimes termed 'as the crow flies'). If eligible you will be notified of this additional funding shortly after being contacted about your bursary funding from Oxford.
