How realistic are your chances?

A scholarship by this name is no longer awarded. The Canon Collins Trust continues to award other scholarships to students from southern Africa. The African Studies Centre at Oxford now lists various funding opportunities for applicants to a Master’s programme in African Studies, including the AfOx Duncan Scholarship, the AfOx Corpus Christi Scholarship for African Studies and the FirstRand Oxford Scholarship for African Studies.
