Corpus Christi College: The Diane Dawson Master's Scholarship

The Diane Dawson Master's Scholarship is a prestigious award offered by Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, specifically designed to support women students with Home fee status pursuing Master's degrees in any subject. The scholarship provides comprehensive financial support covering both tuition fees and maintenance costs, totaling £29,000 annually for the 9-month (0.75 year) duration of the Master's program. This scholarship is particularly notable as it is expected to be match funded, potentially providing additional support to successful candidates. Recipients must be willing to transfer to Corpus Christi College to take up this award, and preference is given to applicants who list Corpus Christi as their College preference on their initial application. The award is based on academic merit and is restricted to individuals who identify as women, reflecting the scholarship's commitment to supporting women in higher education. As part of the award requirements, scholarship holders are expected to write a report on the progress of their academic studies, with comments from their supervisor. The application process is integrated with the course funding deadline, and results are typically announced between April and July. With only one award available for the 2026/27 academic year, this is a highly competitive opportunity for outstanding women scholars seeking to pursue advanced study at one of Cambridge's historic colleges.
