Cambridge Trust International Scholarship

The Cambridge Trust International Scholarships are offered to applicants who are from countries other than the United Kingdom or Ireland who are highly ranked by their prospective Departments within the University. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic ability and research potential, examination results, and references. The financial situation of applicants does not affect selection. The scholarships are tenable at any College of the University of Cambridge and in any subject. Approximately 63 scholarships are awarded annually to support PhD students throughout their course duration. The scholarship covers international fees, maintenance costs, and the student immigration health surcharge. Trust scholarships do not automatically fund the optional PhD writing-up period, but the Trust may, on application, provide up to a further 6 months of maintenance to support writing up.
