The Felix Scholarship is a scholarship programme instituted by the University of Oxford. It was founded to offer gifted underprivileged students from India and other developing countries the opportunity of furthering their postgraduate education by attending a university in the UK. Felix Scholarship Trust offers up to six scholarships each for Indian graduates at the University of Oxford, University of Reading, and School of Oriental and African Studies every year. The scholarship is applicable for a Masters Degree, specifically an MBA at the University of Oxford.
