Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme 2027-28

Offered by Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust and University of Oxford

About this scholarship

This programme brings talented graduates from developing and emerging countries, Kenya among them, to Oxford for a one-year master's course and adds a leadership programme alongside the degree. Scholars are expected to return home and work for the public good after their studies. Only a limited list of one-year master's courses is covered and doctorates are not funded. You apply for your Oxford course by its deadline and complete the extra scholarship questions; deadlines vary by course, from 2 December 2026 for some courses to early January 2027 for others such as the Said Business School MBA.

Details checked on the sponsor's own page: www.ox.ac.uk. Always confirm on the sponsor's site before applying.
