2013 Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship for Undergraduate Students, UK

Description

Both the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Cambridge Overseas Trust were established as charities by the University of Cambridge in the 1980s in order to provide financial support for international students on degree courses at Cambridge. 

The Trusts, whose Patron is His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, are governed by ten Trustees.  The Chair of the Trusts is Sir Martin Harris, and the Deputy Chair isMrs Sarah Squire.

The aim of the Trusts is to enable candidates of outstanding academic merit, who would not otherwise be able to take up places at Cambridge, to pursue courses of study or research.  We offer awards to selected students at PhD, Masters and undergraduate level in all subjects, and at all 31 Colleges of the University of Cambridge. Awards, which include both full-cost and part-cost scholarships, are made only at the beginning of a course of study, and continue for the duration of the course.
