The Cambridge Trust offers a small programme of scholarships for undergraduate students.
Most of the Trust's scholarships are part-cost awards which will pay only part of the cost of studying in Cambridge. Use the scholarship search to find the awards for which you may be eligible.
Application Process
Applicants intending to pursue a course of undergraduate study at the University of Cambridge should complete and submit a UCAS application by the deadline of 15 October 2020.
To apply for funding from the Cambridge Trust you will first need to gain an offer of admission to a Cambridge College. Full information about undergraduate admission can be found here, on the University's website. Please be aware that the Trust is unable to admit students to the University or to any of its Colleges.
Once you have an offer of admission to a Cambridge College, you will be invited by your College to complete an application to the Trust to be considered for funding.
You do not need to apply directly to the Trust for funding, as the Trust only considers applicants who are put forward by their Colleges.
You will be informed in March/April if you have been successful in gaining a scholarship.
The eligibility requirements for part-cost scholarships are:
Funding for international students with financial need is highly competitive. If you do not require financial support in order to study at Cambridge, please do not apply for a scholarship. You will only be eligible for a scholarship if we are satisfied that you have financial need.
The Cambridge Bursary Scheme offers students with home fee status non-repayable bursaries.
The Cambridge Commonwealth, European & International Trust was established on 1 August 2013 from the merger of the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Cambridge Overseas Trust. These were established as charities by the University of Cambridge in the 1980s in order to provide financial support for international students on degree courses at Cambridge.
The Trust awards approximately 500 scholarships annually, and supports between 1,100 and 1,400 students in residence each year from 85 countries across the world. During its history of over 30 years of offering scholarships at the University of Cambridge, the Trust has awarded a total of more than 20,000 scholarships to students from around the world.
Today, the Trust provides the largest number of scholarships for international students at Cambridge, working with partners worldwide to support students of outstanding academic merit under a variety of scholarship schemes.
Awards, which include both full-cost and part-cost scholarships, are offered to selected students at PhD, Masters and undergraduate level, in all subjects and at all 31 Colleges of the University of Cambridge.
