The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme combines eligible Oxford graduate study with leadership development. Applicants must use the relevant December or January course deadline for 2027/28.
Who can apply?
Applicants must start a new eligible full-time course and meet the official country/residence criteria. They should intend to return to their country of ordinary residence and connect their studies to a future public contribution. Deferred offers are excluded.
Funding and benefits
The award provides course-fee and living-cost support alongside the leadership programme. Check the current central terms and the offer letter for the applicable package.
How to apply and important dates
Select the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann option in the graduate application’s scholarship section. Complete and upload the separate 2027/28 scholarship statement before the course’s funding deadline.
Documents and preparation
Prepare the complete course file and scholarship statement. Use specific examples to connect your prior work, chosen subject and long-term public contribution.
Before you submit
Make a personal checklist from the official instructions. Check that your name matches your identity documents, that uploaded files are readable and that your referees have enough time. Save a copy of your submission and its confirmation. If the provider changes its announcement, follow its current instructions rather than an older listing.
Frequently asked question
Is an admission application alone enough?
No. Unlike Clarendon, this route requires the scholarship selection and a separate Weidenfeld-Hoffmann statement.
