Scholarships at Atlas Summer Courses
Understanding Fees, Scholarships, and Funding Options
Many families considering Atlas Summer Courses (formerly Oxford Summer Courses) ask whether we offer scholarships or financial assistance. While we do not currently provide scholarships or bursaries, we recognise that cost is an important factor when planning a summer programme, particularly for international families. This page explains our approach to fees, why we do not offer scholarships, and the funding options that families commonly explore. Our aim is to provide clear, transparent information so you can plan your summer with confidence.
Do You Offer Scholarships?
Atlas Summer Courses does not currently offer scholarships, bursaries, or need-based financial assistance. All students pay the same course fees, ensuring a consistent experience and equal access to the same high standard of teaching, accommodation, pastoral care, and support.
Rather than awarding a limited number of scholarships, we invest in delivering an exceptional experience for every student. This commitment allows us to provide small-group teaching, expert tutors, high-quality accommodation, and comprehensive welfare support across all of our programmes.
Why Scholarships Are Not Offered
Our programmes are built around small class sizes, intensive teaching, and comprehensive pastoral care. Course fees cover far more than academic tuition, including accommodation, meals, activities, safeguarding, supervision, and around the clock support, ensuring every student benefits from a fully supported summer experience.
Delivering this level of quality requires significant investment in teaching, staffing, and student support. By maintaining a consistent fee structure, we ensure that every student receives the same high standard of education, accommodation, and pastoral care throughout their time with us.
What Your Course Fee Includes
Your summer course fee covers the services, accommodation, and experiences included in your chosen programme and package. Depending on the option you select, this may include expert-led teaching, small seminar-style classes, accommodation, meals, course materials, academic support, pastoral care, and a structured programme of cultural and social activities.
Each package clearly outlines what's included, allowing families to compare options and choose the experience that best suits their needs and budget. Our transparent pricing means you'll know exactly what's included before you book.

Alternative Ways Families Fund Their Course
Although Atlas Summer Courses does not offer scholarships or bursaries, some families choose to fund their course through alternative sources. Depending on their circumstances, these may include personal education budgets, school sponsorship, employer education benefits, government funding schemes, or external grants offered by charitable organisations and foundations.
For some students, an Atlas Summer Courses forms part of a wider educational plan, such as university preparation, subject exploration, or academic enrichment during the school holidays. In these cases, families may be able to access educational funding or allowances available in their country or through their school.
Payment Plans and Flexible Options
To help families spread the cost of their programme, Atlas Summer Courses offers flexible instalment payment plans after the initial deposit has been paid. This allows the remaining balance to be paid over an agreed schedule before the course begins.
Our Admissions Team will be happy to discuss the payment options available for your booking and help you arrange a plan that suits your circumstances, subject to the final balance deadline.
Using External Scholarships or Grants
If you're applying for an external scholarship, grant, or sponsorship, Atlas Summer Courses can provide documentation confirming your enrolment, course details, and fees paid. These documents are often required by educational organisations, sponsors, or third-party funding providers.
While we aren't able to recommend specific funding opportunities, families may wish to explore local education trusts, charitable foundations, government schemes, or school-based funding available in their home country.
Is Atlas Summer Courses Worth the Investment?
Atlas Summer Courses is designed to provide lasting value beyond the study of a single subject. Alongside academic learning, students develop confidence, independent thinking, communication skills, and the ability to engage with new ideas in an international learning environment.
For many students, the experience helps shape future academic interests, build confidence in discussion and debate, and develop skills that support future study and personal growth. Families often see the programme as an investment in their child's education, confidence, and long-term development.
