Applications for 2023 open in October 2022 and close in mid-January 2023.

At St Catherine’s, we pride ourselves on attracting the brightest of scholars and offer the most generous accommodation scholarships on College Row.

We have also extended our scholarships to help residents experiencing financial hardship*.

Scholarships vary in size and criteria and provide a substantial discount on fees.

  • To apply for a College Scholarship, you must have first applied and been offered a place at St Catherine’s.
  • You only have to apply once, and because different criteria exist for most scholarships, you will be matched with the scholarship that the Scholarship Committee feels you are most eligible for.

If you have an Early Offer from your university, please mention that in your application.

Also, make sure you mention if you have been offered any other scholarship - this is very important.

* Evidence of financial hardship or loss of income/dramatic change in circumstances is required to be eligible for financial assistance.
