1509 Society

The 1509 Society, referring to the year of our foundation, recognises those former students and friends of the College who give £1,509 or more in one year.

All support is vital and gifts of this level have a tremendous impact on the College, its Fellows and students. Three gifts qualifying gifts for the 1509 Society could fund a maximum student bursary for an academically promising student from a household with a low household income. Around a quarter of Brasenose undergraduates receive some kind of financial support from the College, with one-tenth being awarded a maximum bursary.

"Receiving a Brasenose bursary has made a huge difference to my time at Oxford. In addition to essential help with my day-to-day living expenses, it has allowed me to get involved with aspects of College and University life from which I would have otherwise been excluded."

Members of the 1509 Society and their guests will be invited to an annual drinks reception to celebrate their impact at Brasenose.
