Dean’s Scholars Fund


The Dean’s Scholars Fund provides financial support and opportunities to those students who have so much to offer our collective future.

Donate now

We often think of the academic rigour and competition for places as barriers to Oxford. However, a lack of funding is now preventing many students from studying here.

As many as 50% of our graduate offer-holders lack the financial wherewithal to accept their place at Oxford.

The Dean’s Scholars Fund was established to address the pressing need to offer more meaningful support for graduate students at Oxford Law and provide the security of scholarship funding.

The Dean’s Scholars Fund is close to my heart because education changed my life. Education counters prejudice. It solves problems. It increases understanding. Education creates the world we all want to live in. Your education undoubtedly changed your life. And your gift could change someone else’s.

Your support will give Oxford Law a stronger voice in the world by enabling us to enrich our diverse, inclusive, multicultural and intellectually stimulating community.

By making a gift, we have the power to collectively make a difference that lasts a lifetime for our Dean’s Scholars and our wider society.

By making a regular gift, whether once a year or once a month, we magnify that difference well into the future.

Thank you for your support.

Without the Dean’s Scholars Fund, I would not have been able to seize the life-changing opportunity that my place on the BCL presented. I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of Oxford alumni. Thank you

Help us establish the fund as a reliable source for the future with a single, monthly, or annual gift today.
