Financial Support

We want our students to make the most out of their time here without having to worry about their finances. In addition to the support the University of Oxford offers, we also provide a range of grants to students that qualify for them. Undergraduate students at Lincoln are also able to apply for funding to help towards purchasing books and equipment, and funding is available each term for students undertaking beneficial travel. 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.

The College is pleased to provide bursaries to a large proportion of our students, in addition to those offered by the University. Students do not need to apply for these; bursaries are awarded according to need based on a variety of metrics, including household income data as provided to us by Student Finance England. Students do not have to take out the maintenance loan in order to ensure that their details are visible; they simply need to ensure that an application is made and that their household income data is submitted.

Some of our students undertake paid roles at the College outside of term time supporting some of our large events, such as Open Days. Many also work seasonally during the holidays when they return home.

Needless to say, we would like to reassure you that there is extensive financial support here should you need it.
