    If you come from outside the European Union, you are eligible to apply for student finance from Student Finance England to cover your university tuition fees and living costs, provided that you meet all of the following conditions:

    • You are a UK national, or have ‘settled status’ – this includes permanent or indefinite leave to remain (i.e. no restrictions on how long you can stay)
    • You normally live in England
    • You have been living in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for 3 years before starting your university course

    You may also be eligible if you meet one of the following conditions:

    • You are a refugee
    • You are stateless
    • You are under humanitarian protection

    These immigration statuses are determined by the Home Office. We recommend that you check your immigration status before applying to university. For more information on student finance, please go to https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies

    Target Oxbridge cannot help you qualify for these statuses.

    If you are not eligible, you may be liable to pay the higher international tuition fees and find alternative ways to cover your living costs. Please note that working during term-time at Oxford or Cambridge is strongly discouraged due to the intensive nature of the academic work.

     

Joshua Oware FRSA

Josh is Rare’s Research and Community Affairs Co-ordinator. He’s responsible for: Target Oxbridge, Rare’s research and innovation output, advising universities and the Ubuntu Education Fund, and writing / commentating for clients, conferences and the media on race, education, politics and equality.

A geography student, he gained the highest First in his year at Oxford University, graduating as the 'Gibbs Scholar', and is currently reading for a Masters in Sociology at the University of Cambridge.

A Rare candidate since his second year, he was awarded the Vice Chancellor’s Civic Award in 2013 for positive contributions to University, local and national civic life and has since been elected as a Fellow to the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).

In October 2013 he won the London Schools and the Black Child (LSBC) academic achievement award, run by the office of Diane Abbott, MP.

While at Oxford, Josh Chaired the Council for Racial Awareness and Equality (CRAE), wrote articles, independent research and a book, and served as the vice-President of the African-Caribbean Society. In addition, he coordinated the University's Black History Month programme in 2012, launched the first Race Equality Question Time Event with Trevor Phillips OBE, and organised a university Variety Show, headlined by MOBO award-winner, Akala.

With his work on empowerment and opportunity, the Runnymede Trust, the UK’s leading Equality Think Tank, commissioned Josh to write features in their quarterly magazine. In 2011, Josh looked to take his interests abroad and he worked for an international educational NGO, UWC Adriatic, in Italy. Working with Ambassador Gianfranco Bonetti, he designed a new, now active, five-year fundraising campaign that builds on their existing work of taking bright but disadvantaged children from around the world (refugee camps, war-torn nations) and educating them in peace, sustainability and togetherness. He also sits on the Amos Bursary Learning and Development Committee.
