The Vincent’s Awards are comprised of a series of unnamed and named scholarships, which includes the Sir Roger Bannister award worth up to £10,000 per year. Other awards range from £500 to £5,000. They are open to all students and offer holders of Oxford University, contingent on them accepting their place. The awards are available for practitioners of all officially registered University sports, a list of which is maintained here. Applications will be judged principally on the core values of the Vincent's Awards:

• Strong academic attainment coupled with sporting achievement and potential
• Strength of character, fellowship and leadership potential
• An interest in participation in broader activities, including outreach
• A commitment to helping those less fortunate

Financial need is also an important criterion but will be judged in the broader context of the application, and other means of support will be considered. The Selection Committee will have the final say on awards and their amounts: there will be no right of appeal and no amendment of an application unless the committee specifically requests it.
