Congrats! Was Queen's your first choice? I am still waiting on info regarding scholarships too for DPhil Modern Languages, have reached out to my department about it but no word yet.
Thank you!! and congrats to you too! Yes - Queen's was my first choice :biggrin: have you been assigned college yet? And would you mind sharing the email your department send back? I'm desperate to know a rough timeline for these funding schemes... I can't do the DPhil without it :')

I'm in the same situation! MPhil applicant instead of DPhil, and I've been offered a place in my first choice college. But yeah, totally reliant on a funding offer within the next 6 weeks or so in order to attend.

Congratulations for getting this far! You said Trinity, right? It's a beautiful college :smile: Fingers crossed for us both
Yeah, Trinity. I'm currently on the waitlist for the Ertegun Scholarship... if someone declines their offer then I can get funding through there. Sigh. I highly doubt that will happen, but I talked to my DGS and she said it actually happens every single year? So yeah, a waiting game.

That's great! I hope you get some good news soon, and congratulations for being waitlisted. It is super competitive!

I just got a college offer from Magdalen. It came one week after my university offer, if that's helpful for anyone to know!

I applied with external funding, so I have funding but its not college associated.

Got an offer for English DPhil a week ago, offer from Queen's came through two days later! No word on funding - I asked the admissions team but they just directed me to the general timeline, which states applicants will hear back between Feb - June. However, I have seen some other humanities DPhil offer holders informed that they were put forward for funding. Has anyone heard about nominations for OOC/AHRC or Clarendon? Or know when applicants normally hear back for these scholarships? Thanks!!
I was notified on February 23rd that I was nominated for OOC AHRC funding, currently waiting for the result of the Studentship Selection Panel. Oddly enough I don’t yet have a confirmed offer for the program itself (Law DPhil).

I received DPhil Biology offer mid Jan, got rejected by Magdalen, and haven't heard about another college or funding yet
I applied to Magdalene too. I got rejected and then offered a place at Kellogg. I got an offer for MSc Global Health Science and Epidemiology. Quite a competitive program. I was recently interviewed by the Africa Oxford Mastercard Scholarship. Hoping to hear good news next week.

Hi. Congratulations on your offer and interview. I also interviewed for an AfOx scholarship. Please, did they say they’d be sending out decisions next week?

I've been offered a place by DPIR but was rejected by preferred college and allocated a place at St Anthony's. Is it possible to still be given a college scholarship by another college despite being allocated a college already?

May I ask how long did it take for you to hear from the college after you got the offer? Thanks!!

I had the departmental offer last Friday (1st March), was rejected by first-choice college on 5th March and then offered a place by St Anthony's on 6th March (5 days after offer)

Yhup. It’s possible. In that case if you are successful with that scholarship, you will have to move to that college where the scholarship is tenable.

They told me it will be six weeks after my interview date.
