Applicants must apply for the Ertegun Scholarship at the same time as submitting their graduate application to the University of Oxford.

Applicants should first identify a suitable master’s or doctoral programme and confirm that it appears on the official Ertegun eligible-course list.

2. Prepare the Oxford graduate application

Candidates must complete the university’s graduate application form and provide the academic and supporting documentation required for their selected course.

3. Select the Ertegun Scholarship
