Student support: scholarships Thanks to the support of the worldwide community of Antonians, other generous funders, and partners, we are currently able to support students from around the world to come to St Antony’s. The total value of the scholarships on offer for 2025/26 is roughly £1 million. However, the impact of increases in tuition fees and living costs is being felt by many of our students. Many of our students are facing financial challenges and hardship. Applications to our Financial Assistance Fund are increasing, as well as the number of students requiring personal payment plans due to financial challenges. Perhaps most worrying of all, in 2023, 73 students from Development Assistance Countries (DAC) who had been offered a place at St Antony’s had to withdraw due to lack of funding.
It is for all these reasons, and to ensure we can attract and support students to come to St Antony’s who may not otherwise be able to afford a graduate degree here, that student support is our top fundraising priority. Following the endowment and matching of the DAC Scholarship , we will continue raising funds for this programme and donors can designate their gifts to either the Spend-Down Fund or the Endowment Fund . More broadly, the Academic and Development Offices are looking into the criteria for scholarships, to ensure our scholarships are not too restrictive in nature. We will prioritise full rather than partial scholarships, and seek matched funding and partnerships where possible to grow existing partial scholarships into fully-funded ones.
