Oxford University Ellison Undergraduate Scholarships

The Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) funds the Undergraduate Ellison Scholars programme to fully fund undergraduate or graduate studies at the University of Oxford, with the purpose of empowering exceptional individuals to become global technology innovators and leaders. Undergraduate Ellison Scholars work alongside EIT on research and innovation projects conducted as internships.

Applicants are aimed at academically excellent individuals with the ambition to make an impact. The programme supports a fully funded undergraduate degree in any discipline at the University of Oxford. EIT says it is particularly interested in skills in areas including computer science, artificial intelligence, economics, mathematics, robotics, plant sciences, machine learning, chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine, and microbiology. Programme focus areas for internship projects span health, food security, climate change, and artificial intelligence & robotics.

Selection is competitive and includes EIT selection steps and a separate, independent University of Oxford admissions process. The timeline states that semi-finalists are selected and then apply to the University of Oxford. Semi-finalists who receive an offer progress to a finalist stage, and EIT chooses Ellison Scholars from the pool of finalists.

The timeline describes scholars being announced, onboarded, and supported by EIT’s Education & Scholarships team as they prepare for arrival in Oxford, and then beginning their studies and engagement with EIT Oxford. The page describes internships that take place during vacation periods, with undergraduate Ellison Scholars working on EIT projects. No end date, total duration, or post-program obligation is stated beyond beginning their first academic year.
