The Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Scholarship and Leadership Programme offers exceptional graduates and professionals from developing and emerging economies the chance to pursue fully funded graduate studies at the University of Oxford. The award covers 100% of tuition fees and provides a living grant of at least £20,780, along with leadership training, long-term mentoring, and global networking opportunities. Established in 2015 to honour Lord Weidenfeld’s 95th birthday, the programme has grown significantly through generous donations, including a £9 million gift from André Hoffmann in 2017, matched by £6 million from Oxford University. As part of the Oxford Graduate Scholarships initiative, funding is shared—40% from the University and 60% from supporters of the Weidenfeld-Hoffmann Trust, including Fondation Hoffmann.
