Eligibilty and criteria

The Awards are given only to students currently matriculated at the University of Oxford. It does not matter what degree level, year or subject you are studying for, we are looking for any students who have demonstrated leadership, commitment, passion and proven social impact.

Application Process

There are two routes through which the Vice-Chancellors Civc Awards are given.

1. If you know or work with a student you feel could be recognised by the Vice-Chancellor's Civic Awards, you can make a nomination. Your nominated student must then complete an application. 

2. Students currently engaged in activities they feel could be recognised by the Vice Chancellor's Civic Awards can make an application.

After the deadline, applicants are shortlisted before a panel chooses the final Awardees. The Vice-Chancellor's Civic Awards panel is made up of representatives from the University and local community.
