Vacation Grants

Undergraduate members of College may apply for Vacation Grants to assist with the costs of their remaining in Oxford to pursue their academic work and/or take university exams in the forthcoming vacation. Each eligible student may apply for up to 17 nights' Vacation Grant in any one financial year (which runs from 1 August to 31 July). Each subject has an allocation of nights directly proportional to the number of its students, and it may be that the allocation will be exhausted if each student in the subject wishes to claim for 17 nights. Cases of exceptional need will still be able to be dealt with even if the subject allocation has been exhausted.
