Kanders Churchill Scholarship

The Kanders Churchill Scholarship at Cambridge is designed to bridge the gap between science and science policy by supporting U.S. students with a background in science, mathematics, or engineering to pursue a MPhil in Public Policy. Up to two awards are available each year, conditional upon funding. The scholarship covers international fees, maintenance costs, student visa costs, and student immigration health surcharge for the 9-month program duration. Selection is based on academic achievement in STEM and preparation for public policy. A committee of former Churchill Scholars working in science policy makes the decisions in mid-December, with applicants notified by late December. Prospective Kanders Churchill Scholars must indicate their interest directly on the Cambridge application, including Churchill College as their first choice, and briefly mention it in their Statement of Interest.
