The OPP Graduate Scholarships offer Pakistani students an opportunity to study at the University of Oxford. The scholarships are for one-year taught courses at Oxford and are available for both partial and fully funded awards. MPhil and DPhil students may apply, though they are typically awarded partial support. For the current year, 11 scholarships were offered.
The scholarships do not cover travel allowances except in exceptional cases, based on available funds. These scholarships are tied to Lady Margaret Hall College at Oxford; while students may gain admission to other colleges, if selected, they must transfer to Lady Margaret Hall.
Benefits of the Scholarship
OPP Graduate Scholarships cover tuition fees, living allowances, and other expenses, depending on whether the scholarship is partial or fully funded.
