Eligible undergraduate students may apply for up to 17 nights’ Vacation Grant in any one financial year (which runs from 1 August to 31 July) to assist with the costs of their remaining in Oxford to pursue their academic work and/or take university exams.
Vacation Grants are made out of limited funds, and are available to students reading for a first degree and second BM. 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.
To claim the grant, this application must be submitted by noon on Monday of -1st week, 14th April 2025. Claim applications submitted after the deadline will NOT be considered. Battels credits for authorised claims are issued early in term.
Periods of less than 3 consecutive nights are not eligible for Vacation Grants.
Claims for examinations can only be made up to the night before the last exam.
