Charlie Perkins Cambridge Scholarship

The Charlie Perkins Cambridge Scholarship is available to Masters or PhD applicants from Australia who are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. The scholarship is tenable at any College of the University of Cambridge and in any subject. This fund is offered in partnership with the Charlie Perkins Scholarship Trust and Cambridge Australia Scholarships. The scholarship covers international fees, maintenance costs, student immigration health surcharge, and travel costs to and from the UK at the commencement and conclusion of the scholarship. Approximately 2 awards are available per year. For PhD students, the Trust may provide up to a further 6 months of maintenance to support writing up, though this is not automatic. Awards are made on the basis of both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit. The Trust's awards period runs from the beginning of March to the end of July with decisions made on an ongoing basis throughout that period.
