About Stanislava (Stana) Orihelova

I’m the Scholar Engagement Advisor at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, where I oversee two of the School’s prestigious and impact-driven scholarships:  the Laidlaw Scholarship and the Oxford–Pershing Square Graduate Scholarship. In this role, I support scholars from the application stage through to their time on course, acting as a key liaison between them, the School, and the respective foundations. My work includes scholar communications, events and programming, reporting, and community-building.

I bring over a decade of experience across finance, higher education, events and marketing. Before joining Oxford Saïd in 2022, I spent nearly five years at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences as a Senior Finance Officer. There, I managed departmental budgets, oversaw journals and recharges (both departmental and cross-departmental), handled student finance, ensured compliance with university financial procedures, and supervised junior team members.

Earlier in my career, I worked at Oxford Professional Education Group as Student Finance Manager and In-House Graphic Designer. I managed the Accounts Receivable function, set up student payment plans, led the company’s rebrand, and created all brand collateral. After finishing my studies, I began my career in London with Marriott International, where I worked in sales, events, and marketing.

"Representation is empowerment. The power of representation is a catalyst that shows us what is possible." I couldn't have expressed better, very powerful words by our lovely @Natasha Makhubele   

I am looking forward to working with you @Hannah Watton

Happy Holidays to everyone at the Laidlaw Foundation and here on the Laidlaw Scholars Network :) We have also celebrated a significant year with our Laidlaw gift agreement renewed including our new partnership with Reuben College. 

You are very welcome, Princess.
