Finance and Funding
We are in the top tier of Oxford colleges when it comes to offering graduate support. We have a large number of fully-funded and partly-funded scholarships available, along with bursaries, grants and other sources of financial support.
We want our students to make the most of their time here without having to worry about their finances. As well as scholarships, which are available to both incoming and current students, graduate students at Lincoln are able to apply for funding to help towards purchasing books and to help cover costs incurred when conducting research, such as attending conferences. For students who encounter unexpected financial difficulties whilst studying, we offer a generous support package. We also offer funding to students who need it to allow them to take an active role in extracurricular pursuits that they may otherwise not be able to partake in. You can find more info in the Student Handbook.
For a full list of the scholarships available at Lincoln College, please see below. For information about US Federal Loans, please see here.

For the last two years I have been lucky enough to receive the Lord Crewe Graduate Award. Without financial support from Lincoln I would have been unable to take my place at the University and I am so grateful to the College for enabling to pursue a subject I love.
