60th Anniversary Campaign: Making History
This academic year, St Cross turns 60 – and we mark this occasion with the Anniversary Campaign: Making History.
From its inception, the College has benefitted from generous support, both institutional and personal, coming from those who believed in our mission. As a graduate-focused institution with an egalitarian, international community, St Cross is proud of its role within Oxford, where we bring talented people from diverse disciplines together in the heart of the city.
Our goal is to preserve and build upon the qualities that set St Cross apart: widening opportunities to members of the University who come from all backgrounds, striving for academic excellence, and cultivating an environment that encourages intellectual exchange.
In our anniversary year, the focus is on Scholarships, a new interdisciplinary programme (Crosslinks), and our Buildings and College Environment. Each of these causes contributes to the present and future of St Cross, while respecting our founding vision. The continued support of our alumni and friends remains essential for preserving and enhancing everything that we do.
Until 30th September 2026, the College has been presented with another wonderful opportunity: gifts up to a value of £15,000 will be matched, thanks to a generous pledge by Career Essentials Inc. and David Scrymgeour, friend of St Cross. Single gifts will be doubled and regular gifts tripled in the first year. Match funds will support the Community Bursary programme.
If you would like to make history with us, donations can be made online or via a completed donation form (download UK form | download US form | download International form).
Every gift, no matter the size, is invaluable in helping us support and develop some of the brightest minds, while sustaining our College’s legacy of providing academic opportunities to students and Fellows from all Four Corners of the World.
