A researcher at the University of Oxford has launched a crowdfunding campaign to finish her PhD studies after a dispute over international tuition fees threatened to derail her education.
The student, whose identity has been confirmed by university officials, faced a significant increase in fees after being reclassified as an international student. The change resulted in a bill of over £50,000, which she was unable to pay.
Following a public appeal and media coverage, the university has reportedly agreed to review her case. However, the researcher continues to seek donations to cover remaining costs and living expenses.
Oxford University has stated that it is committed to supporting students facing financial hardship and is working with the researcher to find a solution.
