The Cambridge Trust is pleased to offer the University of Cambridge Scholarships for International Students and Vice-Chancellor’s Awards to applicants who will be undertaking research leading to the degree of Ph.D at the University of Cambridge in the next academic year.
The University of Cambridge Scholarships for International Students and Vice-Chancellor’s Awards scheme is aimed at ensuring that the highest scored students, irrespective of nationality, receive full financial support to undertake Ph.D studies. The scholarships pay the University Composition Fee (UCF) and a maintenance allowance sufficient for a single person.
A University Committee is set to draw up one scored list of all Ph.D applicants across all disciplines. The only factors taken into consideration in drawing this list are academic qualifications, references and research potential. The financial situation of applicants does not affect the selection of scholarship winners.
