Making History Campaign

For 60 years, the St Cross experience has been
defined by the generosity of our community.
Help us make history for the next 60.

Celebrating 60 years of St Cross

For sixty years, St Cross has brought together exceptional graduate students and fellows from around the world. Built on academic excellence, diversity and community, St Cross has grown from just five students in 1966 to a thriving international community of more than 600 students, over 100 Fellows and staff, and more than 6,000 alumni.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are not only reflecting on our history but looking ahead to the future. Through Making History, our 60th Anniversary Appeal, we invite our alumni and friends to help ensure that future generations can experience the same sense of scholarship, opportunity, and connection that has made St Cross such a special place.

Whether your memories are of inspiring conversations over dinner, lifelong friendships, or the support you received during your time here, your generosity can help today's students create memories of their own.

Why your support matters?

St Cross is one of Oxford's youngest colleges. In just six decades, we have achieved an extraordinary amount. Yet, unlike many older colleges, we have had less time to build the endowment that provides long-term financial security and supports future generations.

Philanthropy enables us to provide scholarships, support pioneering research, enhance the College environment, and respond to emerging priorities. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference to our community. 

Your gift can support: 

Alternatively, you are welcome to give to any area of St Cross that is especially meaningful to you. We would be delighted to work with you to ensure that your gift supports the aspects of College life that matter most to you. Please contact the Development Office at development@stx.ox.ac.uk to discuss your wishes.

Leave a lasting legacy

A gift in your Will is one of the most meaningful ways to support the long-term future of St Cross.

By remembering the College in your Will, you can help ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the opportunities, friendships and community that have defined St Cross for the past sixty years. Those who choose to do so are welcomed into the Audrey Blackman Society.

Help shape the next 60 years

Our anniversary is an opportunity to celebrate everything that makes St Cross unique—but it is also an opportunity to invest in what comes next.

Whether through a gift today or by leaving a lasting legacy, your support will help future generations of St Crossers make history.
