Country
United KingdomAbout the Reach Oxford Scholarship
The Reach Oxford Scholarship funds a full undergraduate degree at Oxford, tuition and living costs included, for outstanding students from countries on the OECD's list of aid-eligible developing countries, which includes Pakistan. It covers all subjects except Medicine.
This is genuinely one of the most competitive scholarships on this list by sheer scarcity: only two to three are awarded worldwide each year. Applicants first need an Oxford undergraduate offer through the standard UCAS process, then apply separately for Reach Oxford funding once conditionally admitted.
