Scholarships for studying at Cambridge University as an international student?

I'm an international student considering applying to Cambridge University. Does anyone know of scholarships specifically for international students planning to attend Cambridge? Any pointers would be super helpful!

Certainly, getting financial aid as an international student can be a bit tricky, but there are several scholarship options for you at Cambridge.

One of the primary sources of funding is from the Cambridge Trust, which offers several scholarships for international students. The awards from the Cambridge Trust usually cover the full cost of tuition fees and maintenance, although the specifics can vary based on the particular scholarship you are awarded. These scholarships are usually very competitive, but well worth applying for if you're academically strong.

Another scholarship opportunity is the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This is a full scholarship for any full-time postgraduate degree at the University, established for the brightest students from outside the UK.

For students from certain regions, there are also specific scholarships, like the Jardine Foundation Scholarship for students from certain Asian countries, or the Carreras Foundation Scholarship for students from the Caribbean.

Keep in mind that these scholarships require additional applications. Deadlines for these applications may differ from those for your program. It's a good idea to start this process early so that you're not rushed.

Finally, it's worth noting that scholarships and funding opportunities can change from year to year. Consider reaching out to Cambridge University's Student Financial Services for the most current data on which scholarships you might be eligible to apply for. They're also likely to know about smaller, less advertised scholarships that may be very applicable to your situation!
