Oxfrod DPhil American Student Funding

[member0]

I am an american student who has been admitted to finish a DPhil in the Medical Science Division. I graduated with a 4.0 in undergrad, and completed a Masters at Harvard. How difficult will it be for me to receive full funding from Oxford?

I'm afraid it is difficult to give you this kind of information, since funding availability varies among departments and each year. At the beginning of March you might be able to find out whether the department plans to recommend you for a scholarship by emailing them (they normally rank applicants in a meeting at the end of term), but you might still be contemplated by funds not managed by the department (other University-wide scholarships, college scholarships, etc).

My experience with Oxbridge is that it can take a long time for you to get everything settled (it's not unheard of for people to be offered funding in August), but March should be the most promising month.

I guess my question is with a perfect grade point average, a masters, and a significant amount of experience will I be competitive for university wide full funding scholarships? I cant seem to find application profiles of those who have won awards, so I wanted to know what the average stats were of a person who received them. I am concerned because without an award I will not be able to attend.

If you have research experience, you'll surely sound competitive, I know it's hard (I'm in the same boat), but you'll just have to wait now.
