Financial Assistance and Disability Funding
We understand that students can face a wide range of pressures and concerns while studying. Our financial assistance and wellbeing funds are here to help eligible students, who need extra financial support, continue their course at Kellogg.
In the first instance, contact the Academic Office at academic.office@kellogg.ox.ac.uk who will discuss your circumstances and explain the next steps. All information will be handled confidentially.
The College sends a termly financial support email which will contain the most up-to-date information on both the broader University financial assistance options and those found here in the Student Handbook.
Kellogg College Financial Assistance Fund
The purpose of the College Hardship Fund (CFAF) is to provide a measure of support for Kellogg students who would not otherwise be able to continue to study. The award is available to all enrolled Kellogg students regardless of start date.
Students must be enrolled and experiencing unexpected and unforeseeable financial difficulties due to circumstances which could not have been predicted at the start of their course. The fund is not intended to provide core funding for students who were underfunded at the start of their course.
Amount
The maximum amount that can be awarded is £1,000 with most awards being lower than the maximum to ensure that awards from this limited fund are equitable and inclusive.
Eligibility
- Your financial circumstances must have since you started your programme.
- These changes must be deemed unforeseen and unavoidable.
- The amount the College is able to award (maximum £1,000) must be enough to enable you to complete your studies.
- Depending on your circumstances, you may be advised to consider suspending your studies until you are in better position to afford your studies.
How to apply

Students can consider applying to both the Oxford Assistance Fund (OAF) (see below) or the College Financial Assistance Fund (CFAF). If you are applying for the OAF, you are automatically considered for the CFAF and do not need to separately apply.
Oxford Financial Assistance
The Oxford Assistance Fund (OAF) is the University’s financial assistance fund for all students, regardless of fee status or course start date. As with the College Financial Assistance Fund, successful applicants must demonstrate that they are currently experiencing unforeseen and unforeseeable hardship and that their situation is sustainable overall (i.e. if the applicant receives an award, that will be enough to return them to a financially sustainable position).
For full eligibility requirements please see the OAF website. You may also find the the University’s Financial Assistance and Support advice helpful.
The OAF is managed by the University’s central student funding office. If you have any questions on OAF, please email student.funding@admin.ox.ac.uk
College Disability Fund
The College has a modest amount of funding to assist students who may incur unexpected costs arising from a disability or medical condition that affects their studies. The award is available to all enrolled Kellogg students regardless of start date.
If you believe that the College may be of assistance, please contact the Academic Office at academic.office@kellogg.ox.ac.uk giving details about your circumstances, with independent medical evidence or your Oxford Student Support Plan (SSP). Depending on your circumstances, it might be possible to consider an application without an SSP. You can apply by completing the Kellogg College Disability Fund application form.
Amount
The maximum amount that can be awarded is £1,000 with most awards being lower than the maximum to ensure that awards from this limited fund are equitable and inclusive.
