One of the most worrying things about becoming a student today is obviously finance. With top-up fees, student debt and overdrafts, money can seem like a real barrier, but this simply isn’t the case!

At Balliol, we maintain that admissions should rest on academic achievement and potential alone, which means that finance should never deter anyone from applying.

The university and the college have great provisions for financing students- bursaries, grants, loans and prizes, awarded to students (home or overseas) with financial difficulties or those in temporary hardship. For details, see the Finance page in the Welfare section
