February Fun!

February has been a busy month for us! Financial aid is in full swing and Scholars Weekend last week was a huge success! The sun is finally coming out and campus looks gorgeous, although campus did look beautiful in the snow as well. Throwing a frisbee or studying out on the quad are just beginning as Spring quickly approaches (finally!).

Oxford College is a great value. The academics we offer here combined with the community oriented atmosphere and leadership opportunities make it a great place to start your Emory Undergraduate Career. About 98% of our faculty (even our PE teachers!) have the highest degree in their field and they choose to teach at Oxford because they love teaching 1st and 2nd year students. They want our students to succeed and are unbelievably accessible inside and outside the classroom.

A couple of Financial Aid reminders: Remember to turn in your FAFSA and CSS profile as soon as possible.Remember that the FAFSA is very important for us to evaluate your financial status and serves as your application for the HOPE scholarship (if you are a Georgia resident) and as a way for us to see if you qualify for work study. Here are the links for the FAFSA and CSS Profile.

Scholars weekend was a big hit! We had 65 candidates on campus to compete for the different levels of 4 year scholarships. We really enjoyed having them here on campus and we hope you got a great glimpse into the student and academic life here at Oxford. Thanks so much for coming and you should be finding our in mid- March about your scholarship selection.

Come on out and visit campus! We have 6 "Spring for Oxford" events available for Accepted Students in April. These events include a tour, student panel, lunch, a feature presenter, and Overnights are available the night before each event.
Spring for Oxford dates are as follows:

Oxford 101 is a great way to be informed about the college admissions process! This event is for students in 9th-11th grade and offers a great sense of the admissions process. Oxford 101 will take place on Sunday March 21st.
