Robinson College Yates Masters Studentship

The Robinson College Yates Masters Studentship provides a contribution to fees for Home fee status Masters students at the University of Cambridge. This studentship is specifically designed to support students who have experienced disadvantage, with awarding criteria including indications of coming from a low-income household, being in care, estrangement from family, being a carer, or having little experience of university in their family or community prior to undergraduate education. To the extent possible and required, applicants exhibiting similar levels of having experienced disadvantage would be differentiated by academic merit. The award provides £12,000 as a one-off payment to assist with tuition fees. Recipients must be willing to be associated with Robinson College, though they are not required to specify this College on their admissions application initially. The studentship is available for both full-time and part-time Masters study. Award recipients have post-award obligations including reporting on progress to the donor via the Robinson Development Office and contributing to social media posts about the award with the Robinson Communication Manager. The studentship is designed to reduce financial hardship and enable talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue postgraduate education at Cambridge.
