2022 Cambridge Trust Scholarships for International Students

All applicants should complete the funding section of the online application form via the Applicant Portal ticking the box to express their ‘wish to be considered for funding’ and by completing the Cambridge Trust section.

A University Committee will draw up one scored list of all PhD applicants across all disciplines.  The only factors taken into consideration in agreeing on this list are academic qualifications, references and research potential.  The financial situation of applicants does not affect the selection of scholarship winners.

The Trust’s awards period runs from March to the end of July and is an ongoing process throughout that period. The majority of our full awards are made in March. Some of our partner funded awards can take time, and sometimes when offers are declined we may be able to offer them elsewhere.  You will be informed if you have been successful in winning one of these awards.

Please note: all students applying for a course of one-year duration or less (including LLM, MSt, MBA, MED, Part III Mathematics, MPhil) in the next academic year are not eligible for a CISS award in the next academic year.

Scholarship Duration and Reward

The award has a maximum duration of three years and is available to all students who will be registered for a three-year research program, leading to the PhD (including CPGS), that starts in the next academic year.

Note

In order to maximise the number of Scholarships awarded, the Trust will, when appropriate, promote winners of Cambridge International Scholarships and Vice-Chancellor’s Awards to other full-cost awards with partner organisations, UK Research Councils or Departments or Colleges, who are willing to provide either the full amount or part of the cost of the scholarship.  Where part of the cost of a scholarship is offered, the Trust will meet the balance.

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.  If you have accepted a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, any offer of an award from the Trust, including those offered with an Honorary status, will immediately lapse.

How To Apply

Applicants who wish to start their PhDs in the next academic year must apply by either 2 December 2021 or 6 January 2022, whichever deadline is appropriate for your course.  Please see the Postgraduate Admissions webpage ‘Application & Funding Deadlines’.

All applicants should complete the funding section of the online application form via the Applicant Portal ticking the box to express their ‘wish to be considered for funding’ and by completing the Cambridge Trust section.
