About this opportunity
The Bhutan King's Scholarship is available to Masters applicants who are resident citizens of Bhutan. The scholarship is tenable at any College within the University of Cambridge and is offered in partnership with The Kidu Foundation. This prestigious scholarship provides comprehensive funding support including full international tuition fees, maintenance allowance, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, and travel expenses. The scholarship aims to support outstanding students from Bhutan pursuing graduate education at Cambridge, with the expectation that scholars will return to Bhutan after completing their degree to contribute to the nation's development. Priority is given to applicants in fields that align with national development priorities, including Economics, Education, Engineering, Environmental Studies, International Relations, Law, Management, Mathematics and Science, Political Science, Public Health and Medicine, and Public Policy. One scholarship is awarded annually, and the selection is based on both academic merit and financial need.
