Salters Fellowship

The Salters Fellowship is awarded to UK Chemistry graduates (including Chemical Engineering and Biochemistry) from historically excluded backgrounds undertaking a one-year Masters degree at Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, in a complementary subject. The fellowship covers £10,000 annually toward home fees for the duration of the one-year program. The award is made possible through the Worshipful Company of Salters and Lucy Cavendish College. Preference is given to students who list Lucy Cavendish College as their first-choice college. Priority is given to students from groups that are underrepresented in postgraduate study, as well as those who may have faced educational or socio-economic disadvantage. The fellowship aims to support students pursuing complementary subjects including engineering (chemical, electrical, mechanical), artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science/information technology, data management, and modern languages. Recipients are required to provide progress reports throughout their studies. Additionally, Salters will provide ongoing advice and counsel to successful candidates throughout their studies and beyond to help them gain appropriate employment upon graduation and achieve subsequent career development.
