We are proud to support Black History Month, helping reclaim forgotten history and confronting injustice here and now. The theme for 2022 is 'Time for change: Action not words'.

Coinciding with Black History Month Saïd Business School announced its new Oxford Black Leaders Scholarships. These scholarships are intended to support exceptional future leaders who will enhance the diversity of the MBA class and the wider School, and will go on to be outstanding leaders within their sectors.

New scholarships

Coinciding with Black History Month we are launching our new Oxford Black Leaders Scholarships. These scholarships are intended to support exceptional future leaders who will enhance the diversity of the MBA class and the wider School, and will go on to be outstanding leaders within their sectors.

I’m proud to announce this new scholarship during Black History Month, which is a time to celebrate black culture and promote equality. Both as individuals and organisations, we all become stronger as we embrace inclusivity and diversity.
