Partners & Donors

Since 2007 the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarships have been supported by generous independent donors, who have funded a number of Scholars each year from specific countries and studying certain courses. Currently, our partnership with Chevening UK provides three scholarships. A new partnership with the Hualan Education Group provides 1-2 scholarships each year for graduates from China.

In 2022, the Hope Scholarships were established for talented individuals displaced by conflict, persecution or other human rights violations. Through the generous support of the Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Younger Family Fund, the Blavatnik Family Foundation, GRoW @ Annenberg and Mansfield and Worcester colleges and with the support of the University of Oxford, the Trust has been able to support 19 Scholars.

Since 2018, the Saïd Business School and the Blavatnik School of Government have provided funds to support the Leadership Programmes for MBA and Master of Public Policy Scholars.

In 2020, we strengthened our partnerships with seven Oxford University Colleges: Keble, Lincoln, Mansfield, St Edmund Hall, Trinity and Worcester Colleges with St Antony’s College joining the partnership for 2024-25. From 2026-2027, St John’s will be joining the WHT as a partner college. These partnerships are key in providing a supportive community for our scholars contributing significantly to their overall Oxford experience and enabling them to participate fully in college life. This mutually beneficial partnership ensures that our partner colleges share in the wonder of talented, passionate, and diverse international scholars.

We are grateful to all these donors and partners for their continued support and commitment to the vision and aims of the Trust.
