Croucher Cambridge International Scholarship

The Croucher Cambridge International Scholarship is available to PhD candidates from Hong Kong in the fields of Natural Sciences, Technology and Medicine. It is offered in partnership with The Croucher Foundation and is tenable at any College at the University of Cambridge. The scholarship provides comprehensive support including international fees, maintenance stipend, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, and other expenses. Approximately 3 scholarships are awarded annually for the 2026/27 academic year. Applicants must have a first class honours degree or equivalent in their first degree, or expect to have a higher degree (MSc or MPhil) before the start of their proposed studies. The scholarship is tenable for the course length and may be extended for up to 6 months of maintenance to support writing up. Trust scholarships do not automatically fund the optional PhD writing-up period, but the Trust may provide additional support on application. The award basis includes both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit. Applicants must apply through both an external application to The Croucher Foundation and opt into this fund in the funding section of the Cambridge admissions application.
