About This Opportunity

This PhD scholarship is awarded to students studying Engineering or Physical Sciences at the University of Cambridge. The scholarship provides £29,000 annually for 3.25 years to cover home fees and maintenance costs. The award is expected to be match funded and recipients will need to be willing to transfer to Corpus Christi College. Preference is given to applicants who list Corpus Christi as their first College choice. The scholarship is provided through the generous support of the Worshipful Company of Girdlers. Girdlers scholars are expected to become engaged members of the Girdlers Scholarship community, providing regular updates on their research and activities to the Girdlers' Company, and joining members of the Company for social occasions in both London and Cambridge. Additional maintenance support up to a maximum of 9 months may be applied for, dependent on satisfactory progress and supervisor reports.
