Quick answer
The Jardine Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate Scheme supports three or four years of study in any subject offered by one of eight partner colleges. The Foundation considers academics, leadership, community contribution, and financial need. An award is not confirmed unless the applicant is offered and takes up a place at a partner college.
This profile is about the Oxford and Cambridge undergraduate scheme. Jardine also runs separate undergraduate schemes with the University of Hong Kong and Universitas Gadjah Mada, plus separate postgraduate schemes. Their eligibility and application routes should not be transferred to this page.
Current 2026 application status
- Opens: 14 August 2026
- Submission deadline: 23 October 2026
- Published selection cycle: review in November, first-round interview invitations in December, final-round invitations and interviews in January, and awards announced and accepted in February
- Application portal: Jardine Foundation application site
The Foundation's annual-cycle graphic labels the months but does not publish exact interview or outcome dates. It also uses the abbreviation CP for part of the final-interview stage without defining it on the page. Applicants should follow their invitation rather than assume a format.
At the time of review, the application site was a read-only page still labelled Scholarship Awards 2026. The underlying form also referred to National Service completion by September 2026, which cannot describe the later August to October 2026 application window. Treat the live scholarship-schemes page as the date source and reconfirm the portal instructions after the new window opens.
