North America Fund

The North America Foundation Fund is for students from the United States or Canada only. It is primarily aimed at MBA students at the Judge Business School, but other graduate students may apply. The fund provides grants for periods of academic research travel and cannot be used for fees or maintenance. Grants are ordinarily limited to those in their first nine terms for candidates for the degree of PhD, or for students on one-year courses (MPhil, MBA, LLM, MCL, PGCE, CASM), the first three terms of their degree. Vet MB and MB students may apply any time during their nine terms of postgraduate clinical study. Students may normally apply for funding up to a maximum of £1,500, though in exceptional cases requests for higher amounts may be considered. The award of funds is a competitive process based on academic merit. Applicants must already be members of Sidney Sussex College at the University of Cambridge. Any award given is conditional upon a 500-word report being supplied to the College within one month of completion of the research.
