Annual Fund
My name is Tyler. I am in my final year of an undergraduate English degree at Oxford. I am writing to ask for your support of Oxford’s outreach and access initiatives which had a direct impact on my successful application to the University.
The University holds over 2,000 outreach and access events every year, benefitting thousands of students who, like me, may feel that Oxford is out of reach. These access initiatives help to transform this perception and inspire people to apply. Now, more than ever, Oxford needs to provide these crucial opportunities for young people to experience Oxford life and study. With the rise in tuition fees, choosing a university is one of the biggest decisions my generation faces. In order to remain fully accessible to all, Oxford needs to develop and expand its outreach work.
If 14 alumni give just ￡10 per month for a year, 30 GCSE Students could spend a day at Oxford and take away both an unforgettable experience and a pack of learning resources to help them with their exam revision.
I now volunteer to promote access and participation work and have taken part in a panel to give teachers insights into life as an Oxford student. I want to support Oxford and to give something back to the university which has helped me so much. I hope that you, too, will choose to support the University’s access and participation work by making a donation.
Thank you for your support.
