About the Oakley Fund

The Oakley Fund was established by Mr Michael Oakley, the former chief executive of the Girls’ Day School Trust to offer financial assistance to former GDST students embarking on a project that relates to their ongoing career or study developments.

The Fund has been running since 2003, during which time many students have benefited from the scheme and taken the opportunity to fulfil their ambitions. We are delighted to support you in your first years beyond your school education and to help students have these exciting and challenging opportunities.

If you are looking to take on a project that relates to your study or career then we may well be able to support you in achieving your goal.
