Hi! I am hoping to secure this for my DPhil offer - I would be eligible for the BAF. Does anyone know when offers are usually sent out?

Hi
For the Academic futures scholarships, June would be the latest deadline before you hear back from them. If you haven't received your offer yet (presuming your application's deadline was the January/end of January deadline) then you won't be sent a form until end of March/early April (earliest). This is for RAF "if you are eligible but did not complete the question on your course application about refugee/displaced status then you can still email us by 15th March 2026 to confirm that you wish to apply." So I presume no forms will be sent out before 15 March.

Hi guys, I received an email this morning saying I am being considered for British-Bangladeshi Academic Futures award. It said in the email the latest to hear back was the end of June. But I am not sure wether that is the case for all the strands. Does anyone know if there is a separate application for this, the email didn't mention any extra forms etc?

I think that's just for the other scholarships - the refugee and care-experienced awards. For the Black, British-Bangladeshi and British-Pakistani strands you are automatically considered for and don't require further applications - as stated on the website: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/fees-and-funding/fees-funding-and-scholarship-search/academic-futures

Out of curiosity, what sort of deadline was given to complete the application forms for the Refugee and Care-Experienced awards? A month?
