On behalf of the University, the Cambridge Trust is offering the fully funded Cambridge International Scholarship for international students undertaking PhD studies at the Cambridge University. The aim of the Cambridge International Scholarships is to ensure that the 250 highest ranked students, irrespective of nationality, receive full financial support to undertake research leading to a PhD.  The Scholarships pay the University Composition Fee and a maintenance allowance sufficient for a single person.

If a student receives a full-cost scholarship from any source (excluding Gates Cambridge), the offer of an award from the Trust will lapse and you will be offered the status of ‘Honorary Trust Scholar’.  This entitles you to attend the Trust’s events but bears no monetary value.

Fully Funded Cambridge International Scholarship

The candidates successful to receive the fully funded Cambridge International Scholarship will receive an exemption from paying the tuition costs (up to £34,107 per year). Further, they will receive a generous maintenance allowance by UK standards.
