The Oxford Australia Fund was initiated to endow scholarships for academically-outstanding Australian graduates to study at Oxford University.
The first scholarships were established at the Australian National University in connection with the Campaign for Oxford 1993, with donations from Australian Oxford alumni and a subsequent large benefaction from the late Mr James Fairfax AC. Since 1998, this Fund has awarded scholarships to more than 100 Australian graduates.
Scholarship selection is made on academic merit, normally across the full range of discipline areas. The scholarships provide partial funding to Australian university graduates for the duration of a full-time Masters or Doctorate degree, or a second undergraduate degree, at Oxford University.
In addition to the James Fairfax fund, a number of funds linked to Oxford Colleges provide specific scholarships thanks to generous donations from their Australian alumni and matching College support:
