I'm set on applying to Cambridge University, but as an international student, I'm pretty worried about costs. Can anyone share if there are scholarships available for international students at Cambridge?
Yes, there are scholarships available for international students at the University of Cambridge. The University and its colleges are committed to ensuring that students are not deterred from applying to Cambridge due to financial reasons.
One of the primary scholarships for international students is the Cambridge Trust International Scholarships. These scholarships are available for undergraduate and graduate students. Undergraduates applying to Cambridge compete for around 250 Cambridge Trust scholarships each year.
Additionally, Cambridge offers the Gates Cambridge Scholarships for postgraduate students, which is aimed at students outside of the UK. This scholarship covers the full cost of studying, including tuition, maintenance, and airfare.
Furthermore, specific Cambridge colleges may offer their own scholarships, so make sure to check with the particular college where you’re applying as well. Scholarship information is usually listed on the college's website.
Also, don't forget to utilize external resources like Appily for scholarship databases that can help you find additional sources of funding. Please make sure to verify the eligibility requirements and application deadlines for each scholarship you look into. Good luck with your applications!
