Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme
The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme cultivates the global leaders of tomorrow by providing outstanding university graduates and professionals from mainly developing and emerging economies but also those who would not otherwise be able to support themselves, with the opportunity to pursue fully-funded graduate studies at the University of Oxford, combined with a comprehensive programme of leadership development, long-term mentoring and networking.

Articles from our Scholars
A Driving Force For Change
“Does it really matter that 30 people go to a top University? Does it really make a difference in the world? Can we contend that we have fulfilled our duty and responsibility of making the world a better place if we give 30 young people the opportunity to do this? I believe it matters a great deal . . . The Leadership Programme goes over and above what the University teaches, it creates a community, a sense of cohort, of people who can talk to each other and share solutions.”
– André Hoffmann, Co-founder and Trustee Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust
A Vision of Unity
“George Weidenfeld reflected and represented things that are really important. And in practical terms, the consequence of that was the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships and Leadership Programme. We should reflect on his vision, a vision in which he comprehended that of course people’s individual identities, their religion, their ethnicity, matter. But what matters most, by far, is their sense of common humanity. We should remember him and also acknowledge André Hoffmann and other benefactors, including the University of Oxford, who ensured that his vision could be turned into reality.”
– Lord Patten of Barnes, Chancellor of the University of Oxford
