King's Cambridge Commonwealth Scholarship for Small Island Developing States

These scholarships are for PhD students who are citizens of, or ordinarily resident in, Small Island Developing States of the Commonwealth pursuing courses in any subject with a focus on strengthening capacity in key themes within those States. The scholarships are fully-funded and tenable at any College. The program offers comprehensive support including tuition fees, maintenance, student visa costs, student immigration health surcharge, and personal research allowance or equipment allowance. Trust scholarships do not automatically fund the optional PhD writing-up period, but the Trust may, on application, provide up to a further 6 months of maintenance to support writing up. Approximately 2 awards are available for the 2026/27 academic year. The scholarships are provided by the Cambridge Trust and are awarded based on both financial need (including hardship) and academic merit.
