Boyce Family Masters' Scholarship in Social Sciences

The Boyce Family Scholarship offers up to £32,500 per year to cover the University Composition Fee for full-time one-year MPhil studies at the University of Cambridge. The scholarship is open exclusively to students who are normally resident in North America (including the Caribbean) and South America, and who are pursuing an MPhil in Land Economy, or another course in the social sciences (including Geography) with a focus on the built environment, sustainability, and/or conservation. The scholarship was established by Wolfson alumnus Mark Boyce, who completed his MPhil in Land Economy as a student at Wolfson in 1993-94. It is intended to improve access to postgraduate education for outstanding students who face financial challenges in taking up a place at Cambridge. Approximately four awards are available per year. The program particularly encourages applications from prospective students who have faced disadvantage, or come from underrepresented backgrounds, to access postgraduate study at Cambridge. Priority is given to first-generation university students, those from low-income backgrounds, or those who have experienced educational disadvantage. Recipients must specify Wolfson College as their first or second preference in their admissions application.
