Supporting Future Generations
Oriel is committed to attracting the best and brightest students, regardless of their socio-economic circumstances. Scholarships, financial support, extra-curricular, and other types of funding are available for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Each year the need grows. Gifts to student support funds change lives – opening the door to an Oriel education and helping students reach their full potential.
Supporting World-Class Teaching
Teaching is at the heart of Oriel’s mission and Oxford’s exceptional tutorial system produces outstanding graduates. Tutorial teaching is a central part of the College experience, but it is expensive and the costs are not covered by the tuition fees we recieve, meaning this system is under threat. The College depends on philanthropic support to protect this unique approach to learning and teaching for future generations.
The College’s Fellows are leading academics whose teaching and research creates a vibrant and collaborative intellectual community. Vital funding from our giving society members enables Oriel to recruit and retain the very best Fellows, by supporting their research.
Preserving the Historic Environment
Conserving Oriel’s ancient buildings and refurbishing facilities to serve the learning and social needs of today’s community are key priorities. Your donations can help to safeguard the College’s historic site by supporting essential maintenance and projects that revitalise and re-imagine our current space – ensuring Oriel’s beloved buildings and social spaces can be enjoyed for years to come.
