This initiative, administered by the Cambridge Trust, is designed to support exceptional scholars who demonstrate exceptional academic abilities and the potential to make a significant impact in their chosen fields.
For undergraduate students, the Cambridge Trust provides financial assistance to cover the costs of tuition and maintenance, easing the financial burden on those who wish to attend this world-renowned institution. The scholarships for graduate students are equally prestigious, offering support for both tuition and living expenses during their postgraduate studies at Cambridge.
These scholarships play a crucial role in fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment at the University of Cambridge. By attracting talented individuals from various corners of the globe, the institution becomes a hub for innovation and cross-cultural understanding. The scholarship recipients contribute not only to their academic communities but also to the betterment of their societies when they return to their home countries, equipped with the knowledge and skills acquired at Cambridge.
The Cambridge Trust is deeply committed to helping students reach their full potential and facilitating access to a Cambridge education, irrespective of their financial circumstances. In doing so, it supports the university’s mission to maintain its status as a world leader in academic excellence, research, and intellectual development.

- The Trust will not normally support students at a degree level that is the same as, or lower than, a degree they already hold, with two exceptions – we will consider an application from a student who is required to take a second Masters degree at Cambridge in order to gain admission to the PhD here, or from an international (non-EU) student who is proposing to study as an affiliated student at Cambridge for a second BA degree.
- The Trust does not have scholarships available for post-doctoral positions, or for visiting or exchange students.
- The Trust does not have scholarships available for part-time postgraduate degrees, and part-time undergraduate study is not available at the University of Cambridge.
