The Internship Office is pleased to announce that Christopher Moore, a visually impaired alumnus, is generously offering a bursary to support visually impaired undergraduate students with the costs associated with internships.
The intention of the bursary is to cover costs associated with internships for visually impaired undergraduates. This includes costs for specific equipment and support students may need to take part in an internship, as well as general costs. The maximum amount students can apply for is £3,000.
Eligibility
The bursary will be administered to visually impaired* undergraduates through the Internship Office, and can be used for internships offered as part of the University’s Summer Internship Programme and Micro-Internship Programme, as well as internships sourced outside of these programmes.
*Definition of visual impairment
For the purposes of this bursary, visual impairment is used in its broadest sense. It refers to sight that cannot be fully corrected using glasses or contact lenses and includes students who are blind or partially sighted, as well as those with a long-term visual condition that has a substantial impact on their ability to carry out day-to-day activities, including studying or undertaking work experience. This may include (but is not limited to) students who use assistive technology, require specialist equipment or support, or whose visual impairment fluctuates or is not immediately visible.
How to apply
Fill in the funding application form and email it to funding@careers.ox.ac.uk.
The deadline for applications is at midnight on Friday 8 May 2026.
Please note that the awards are not provided on a rolling basis and all applications will only be considered after the deadline.
