Oxford University announces scholarship for black graduates
Oxford University has launched a new scholarship scheme for black graduates.Launching next year, the Black Academic Futures programme will provide funding for 10 postgraduates.Black graduate students are particularly under-represented at the Oxford University, making up around 1.5 per cent of all postgraduate students, compared with four per cent across the sector in the UK.The scholarship programme aims to transform this reputation by increasing both applications from and funded places for black graduate students, the university said.Other graduate funding opportunities for under-represented groups have been launched by the university, with scholarships for students in humanities and law.Professor Martin Williams, pro-vice-chancellor for
