They don’t. The Americans who do also call Southeast Asians "Asian.”To be blunt, “Asian” refers to ethnic groups in Asia where the majority of people have almond-shaped eyes, and anyone with ancestry from those groups. It roughly aligns with the dated (and somewhat racist) anthropology term “Mongoloid.”Vietnamese, Cambodians, Thai are considered “Asian” while Indians, Pakistani, Iranians, Arabs are not.Before “Asian” was used to describe people from East and Southeast Asia, the term “Oriental” was used. Indians, Pakistanis, Bengalis, Iranians, Arabs were not on the Anglo-American racial radar, unlike in the UK or other countries that were part of the British Empire. There was no large scale migration from South Asia to the US until relatively recent history.East Asians and Southeast Asians are a different story. The US began importing Chinese labourers within a decade of the part of California north of the Baja Peninsula being seized from Mexico.With the conquest of most of the Spanish Empire in 1898, and the purchase of Hawaii, the US began receiving lots of American Nationals (who weren’t citizens) from the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam. At the turn of the 20th Century, all of these ethnic groups were also “Oriental.” An additional wave of Japanese immigrants settled the Western US and Hawaii.Oriental began to be used as a slur in the 20th century and fell out of favour. Then, all of the ethnic groups that used to be called “Oriental” were slowly “Asian.” South Asians and Middle Easterners were an extreme non-visible minority at the time.In the 1940s and 1950s, the US received surges of war refugees from Korea and Vietnam who then formed their own Asian American groups.However, in the 1980s, another ethnic group “Pacific Islander” was carved out of the Asian group after the Civil Rights Era. It groups Filipinos, Hawaiian, Chamorro, and so on as “Pacific Islanders.” Many white Americans still call those groups “Asian” because they also have almond shaped eyes and Asian is primarily based on appearance, but some members of those groups do not prefer to be called “Asian.”During the Civil Rights Era, university quotas were established based on race and ethnicity. People from racial groups that were underrepresented in universities were suddenly more likely to be admitted, and given an advantage over groups that weren’t.In the 1980s, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Americans suddenly began succeeding in American universities and international students from those countries began doing very well. Filipinos, Chamorro, Hawaiians, were not. By putting “Asian” on a university application, you were suddenly giving yourself a disadvantage if 30–40% of the student body is Asian, but Asians make up less than 5% of the US population.The Pacific Islander groups changed their/our identity (I am 1/4th Filipino). There is more complexity to this story—Pacific Islander actually evolved as a term in a post-Colonial civil rights context mainly outside the US (in countries like Togo, Fiji, the Marshal Islands, and New Zealand). Asian-Americans from places which were in the Pacific, and whose ethnic groups share linguistic and historical traits with this insurgent Pacific Islander Rights movement, slowly changed their affiliation as belonging to this other group to avoid the disadvantages of being Asian.Outside of the US, this didn’t happen. Most Filipinos in the Philippines identify as “Asian” not “Pacific Islander.”Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, who are “Asian” but not “Pacific Islander” are at a disadvantage in the racial quota system. They are hurt because more successful Asian ethnic groups are overrepresented in university, and there is often no distinction made between different Asian groups.How do Indians, Bengalis, Pakistanis, Kazakhs, Iranians fit into this?They don’t. The US didn’t start getting large groups of South Asians, Central Asians, and Middle Easterners until the 1970s. They were excluded from immigrating to the US under the Immigration Act of 1917, except for as refugees.Because the typical South Asian or Central Asian (with some exceptions like Hazara), don’t have almond shaped eyes, they weren't among the groups that made the shift from “Oriental” to “Asian.”Hazara would probably be considered “Asian” if a large community of them popped up in New York or San Francisco, but South and Central Asians who don’t resemble East Asians or Southeast Asians are simply not Asian in an American sense.Officially?Yes, South Asians are Asians. The US Census defines Asian as “Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Other Asian.”It also considers Arabs to be “Caucasian” when most Anglo-Celtic Americans wouldn’t consider them to be Caucasian.

The answer is….sort of?All UK and EU students are eligible for loans that cover the full cost of University, as well as contributions towards living costs, and Oxford automatically enrols UK and EU students from low-income households onto one of their means-tested grants, providing up to £3,700 per year.Since the Government loans cover the full cost of the university fees, and this £3700 usually covers everything else, there is generally no need for a full scholarship.There are 4 centrally-administered scholarships offered by the University of Oxford that provide what would be considered a “full scholarship”, they are:Hill Foundation ScholarshipsGiven to Russian nationals wishing to study for a second undergraduate degree. Covers all costs + a grant towards living costsThe D. H. Chen Foundation ScholarshipsGiven to students ordinarily resident in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region not studying medicine. Covers all costs + a grant towards living costs. 2 scholarships per year.Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies ScholarshipGiven to UK residents from Muslim communities not studying medicine or PGCE. Covers all costs + a grant towards living costs. 5 scholarships per year.Reach Oxford ScholarshipGiven to residents of nations on the Official Development Assistance list held by the OECD (see below for full list of nations) who also meet the ‘social need’ requirements (which are undisclosed), and who are not studying medicine. Covers all costs + a grant towards living costs + one return flight home per year. 2–3 scholarships per year.There are a few others (Palgrave Brown Scholarship) that provide an annual contribution of up to £10,000 towards living costs, but which are not a full scholarship.All Scholarships are awarded only after you have secured an offer to study. You can only begin the application process if you already have an offer. They are all awarded on the basis of academic merit, which the Reach Scholarship clarifies as meaning “who are of the highest academic ability.”Out of the ~3000 students admitted in any given year, there are only ~10 fully funded scholarships available from the university. Individual member colleges might have scholarships, which would increase that number.As a note: Most people I know who were on funded Scholarships got them not from the university, but from establishments (either private or governmental) in their home nations. That seems to be the norm.In conclusion, yes, the University of Oxford does offer a number of fully funded scholarships for undergraduate students, both UK and international. Unfortunately, that number is rather small, in keeping with the British culture which generally relies upon the Government to provide the loads to the students, rather than the institution.I have answered with respect to Oxford, but the situation is very similar in Cambridge — as indeed it is with all UK universities.The OECD list of development-assisted nations is (as of 2017):Afghanistan; Albania; Algeria; Angola; Antigua and Barbuda; Argentina; Armenia; Azerbaijan; Bangladesh; Belarus; Belize; Benin; Bhutan; Bolivia; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Botswana; Brazil; Burkina Faso; Burundi; Cambodia; Cameroon; Cape Verde; Central African Rep.; Chad; Chile; China; Colombia; Comoros; Congo, Dem.
