All graduate students at the University of Oxford benefit from membership not only of their department, but also of one of our multi-disciplinary colleges. Applicants may select a preferred college as part of their application or leave the allocation of a college to the University. The Weidenfeld and Hoffmann scholarships and leadership programme benefit from partnerships with multiple colleges where the college contributes a portion of the scholarship and therefore successful candidates will be transferred to a partner college in order to take up the scholarship.
The Weidenfeld Hoffmann Trust has partnership awards with the Hualan Education Group and Chevening. Please note that the selection process for these scholarships is managed by the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust and their respective partners, and is not managed by the University of Oxford.
Candidates applying for the Oxford-Weidenfeld and Hoffmann Scholarships and leadership programme will automatically be considered for the Hualan Education Group partnership awards. The partnership award selection and interview process is run entirely by the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust and the University of Oxford is not involved in the selection process.
