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.
