The University of Cambridge will offer, via the Cambridge Trusts,
approximately 80 Cambridge International Scholarships to Overseas Students who
embark on a research course in the next academical year. The awards will be
made on a competitive basis to those applicants considered by their departments
to be the most outstanding.

Each award will
underwrite the full cost of fees and maintenance for the duration of the
course.
Duration
of the Award
The award has a maximum
duration of three years and is available to all students who will be registered
for a three year research programme, leading to the PhD (including CPGS), that
starts in the next academical year.

To be eligible to
receive a Cambridge International Scholarship students must:
- be liable to pay the Overseas University Composition Fee (i.e. be assessed as 'Overseas' for Fee Status purposes).

- be engaged in full-time study.
