International students can study at Oxford with full financial support while working on cutting-edge research and innovation projects tackling global challenges.

Students aspiring to pursue undergraduate studies at one of the world's leading universities now have an opportunity to apply for the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program 2027, a fully funded scholarship initiative in the United Kingdom that combines academic excellence with hands-on innovation and research.

Funded by the Ellison Institute of Technology, the highly competitive programme enables outstanding international students to study at the University of Oxford while contributing to projects focused on solving major global challenges through science, technology and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The programme goes beyond traditional scholarship models by integrating undergraduate education with practical research experience. Selected scholars will participate in innovation projects, summer internships, technological development programmes and collaborative research initiatives at EIT Oxford throughout their academic journey.

The scholarship covers the full cost of attendance, including tuition fees, a generous living stipend, travel expenses, conference participation costs, and arrival-related expenses such as flights, visa fees and healthcare. Scholars will also receive support for their personal technology requirements and gain access to paid innovation project internships.

Applicants may choose from any undergraduate degree programme offered by Oxford University. Students with strong academic backgrounds and interests in fields such as artificial intelligence, computer science, machine learning, robotics, engineering, mathematics, economics, biology, chemistry, medicine, microbiology and plant sciences are particularly encouraged to apply.

The programme is open to high-achieving secondary school graduates from around the world who demonstrate a passion for innovation, scientific research and addressing real-world problems. Candidates must meet Oxford University's academic entry requirements, satisfy the minimum grade criteria for their chosen course, and fulfil the institution's English language proficiency requirements.

Required application documents include a curriculum vitae, a valid passport, secondary school academic records, proof of English language proficiency and any additional supporting documents requested during the application process.

Interested candidates must first complete an eligibility assessment and submit an online application through the official Ellison Scholars portal. Shortlisted semi-finalists will subsequently be required to complete Oxford University's separate admissions process.

The deadline to apply for the Ellison Undergraduate Scholars Program 2027 is July 31, 2026.
