Fund a Student Room

The Gradel Quadrangles will contain 94 student bedrooms, principally in the East and West Quads, where every group of six to eight rooms will also share a Common Room. 

A gift of £25,000 will fund a student bedroom, whether as a single gift or as five annual donations of £5,000. 

Your gift can be reduced further through tax-efficient giving. Please see below for more information.

If you would like your gift to be acknowledged publicly, your name will be included on the donor wall in the new Porters' Lodge at the entrance to the Gradel Quadrangles.

Below are some examples of how UK tax payers can make a tax-efficient donation. In all cases, the College claims Gift Aid and the donor reclaims against their tax liability. 

NB. The figures given assume the Higher Rate of income tax (40%) is being paid. Donors paying the Additional Rate (45%) will be able to reclaim a further 5%. 

Student Room £25,000

Central to our plans is the provision of accommodation for all of our undergraduates. New College is currently unable to house all of its students, leaving them to find their own private accommodation in one of the most expensive cities in the country. This can be a daunting prospect and a significant financial strain on students, so the availability of affordable rooms is crucial, particularly for those who only wish to reside in Oxford during term time. The Savile Road site offers a unique opportunity for us to address this. The location is close enough to the main College site to ensure that all residents feel part of the New College community, and have easy access to all of the facilities they need to make the most of their time here.
