King's College Studentships

King's College at the University of Cambridge offers studentships to partially or fully support a small number of applicants based on a variety of eligibility criteria. These studentships are available for both PhD and Masters students pursuing full-time or, in exceptional cases, part-time study. The awards may cover fees (both home and international) and/or contributions towards maintenance costs. The exact amounts can vary, and the College encourages applications from anyone who wishes to apply. King's College may partner with other funders for some of these studentships. Awards are made based on financial need (including hardship), academic merit, and other criteria including students whose parents and grandparents did not attend university, those from under-represented backgrounds, and those with other specific circumstances. Approximately 10 studentships are available for the 2026/27 academic year. Award recipients are expected to submit updates on their work for reports to donors and for possible inclusion in College publications, and may be asked to describe their experience at King's and indicate their future intentions.
