of the University’s 25,000 students, through the provision of funding
opportunities and management of fees data. Funding opportunities include

hardship funding.
The Student Funding Administrator will support the administration of Oxford’s

**About the Role**
The postholder will be responsible for administering central financial
assistance provision alongside other members of the team, assessing and
administering grants to students in financial difficulty, working closely with
colleges to facilitate this. This includes for support for care-experienced
and estranged students who may require additional funding.
In parallel, the role will support the administration of funding for

genuine interest in student funding.
