About This Opportunity

The Trustees of the Kurt Hahn Trust invite applications for the Kurt Hahn Award for the academical year 2026-27. The Awards are intended to assist students of German nationality or who are domiciled resident or normally resident in Germany to pursue graduate studies at the University of Cambridge. Awardees will be required to become candidates for a Cambridge degree and should be based in Cambridge for the majority of the academical year. Academic merit will not be the sole consideration: evidence of more than usual enterprise, breadth of interest, and social awareness will also be considered. The award provides £3,000 to £4,000 as a one-off maintenance grant. Award holders will normally be invited to social events with other Kurt Hahn Trust scholars, Trustees and members of the Committee of Management in Michaelmas and Easter Terms.
