Culture, Sport, and Extracurricular Activities

WEPO students are provided with £500 per year to go towards cultural activities, sporting, and extracurricular activities. These categories are defined as follows:

• Culture: Cultural activities include things like theatre tickets, museums, galleries, sporting events (eg. watching a football or rugby match), etc. This category can also cover day trips within the UK, for example, if you'd like to take a bus to visit a nearby city for the day. This category does not cover travel or accommodation outside of the UK or in Oxford city.

• Sport: The Programme will reimburse students for the necessary costs of participating in a sport in Oxford (ie. some of the expenses which students would not normally pay at Williams College). Such ‘necessary’ costs do not include things such as sporting dinners, ski lift passes, social events, team photographs, personal equipment (such as running shoes, rugby boots, rucksacks), overseas tours, etc. However, they may cover expenses such as travel costs to away venues or training grounds, team uniforms or ‘kits’, and/or University Gymnasium or Pool membership fees.

• Extracurricular: This category covers activities like music lessons, language classes, etc.

All Exeter EWH residents will be provided with £250 in reimbursements towards cultural activities. This funding is meant to be used for you to participate in events and activities with WEPO students throughout the year.

Students must submit receipts using this form. All receipts for each term should be submitted by the last day of 9th week, no later than the 18th June 2025 at the end of the academic year. Only itemised receipts can be accepted for reimbursement. Requests submitted without an itemised receipt will not be reimbursed.

Local Travel

All WEPO students will be provided with three 13-week bus passes to be used on Oxford Bus Company or Stagecoach buses. These bus passes will cover each of the three Oxford terms, as well as part of each term break.

All Exeter EWH residents will be provided with £100 in reimbursements towards local bus passes to use throughout the academic year. Itemised receipts must be submitted in the link above for reimbursement.
