The Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme is a
prestigious scheme of approximately 80 full scholarships for international
students.
It was founded in 2009, and is funded by the
Trusts with assistance from the University, from external funding partners, and
from Departments and Colleges that have agreed to contribute to these awards.
The scholarship competition is administered jointly by the University's Student
Registry and the Trusts.
Scholarships are offered to the PhD applicants who
are most highly ranked by their respective Departments, across all disciplines.
Scholars are chosen by a selection panel including representatives from each of
the six academic Schools within the University. The only factors taken into
consideration are academic ability and research potential, examination results,
and references. The financial situation of applicants does not affect the
selection of scholars.
In the case of some selected candidates, the
Trusts will subsequently identify partner organizations willing to provide part
of the cost of the scholarships, but the Trusts will meet the balance, and
where necessary the whole costs, of these awards. The value of the scholarship
is equivalent to the University tuition fee, approved College fee, and an
annual living allowance for a single person. The length of the scholarship is
three years.
Scholarship application deadline is early
December.
