Middle Eastern Studies (Arabic, Persian) Scholarships and Grants

Awards are made from Trust Funds in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (FAMES) that are designated for the support of Arabic, Persian and Middle Eastern Studies, specifically the Wright, Nicholson and Browne Funds. Typically, two to three awards are made each year of approximately £10,000 each. The scholarships can cover fees for both home and international students, as well as maintenance costs. When possible, the faculty partners with the HRH Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre of Islamic Studies and the Cambridge Trusts to offer full studentships. Awards are made on the basis of academic merit and are available for the duration of the course. Recipients are selected from prospective postgraduate students pursuing full-time Masters or PhD degrees in Arabic, Persian, and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.
