The University of Cambridge, via the Cambridge Trusts offers approximately 250 international scholarships for overseas students who will be registered for a three year research program, leading to the PhD (including CPGS), that starts in the next academic year. The awards will be made on a competitive basis to those applicants considered by their departments to be the most outstanding.

Scholarships are awarded to cover the full cost of fees and maintenance for the duration of the course, i.e. three years. In order to be eligible for a CISS award, applicants must have applied for admission/continuation as a graduate student to the University of Cambridge.

Study Subject (s): Scholarships are awarded in all available research courses at the University of Cambridge.

Selection Criteria: The awards will be made on a competitive basis to those applicants considered by their departments to be the most outstanding.

Notification: In March, all the nominated candidates with a conditional offer of admission will be considered by a selection committee comprising academic members of the Student Registry. The committee will draw up a list of candidates who will be made an offer of a CISS award immediately. These candidates will receive a confirmatory email. Several hundred partially funded awards will also be made by the Cambridge Trusts to candidates unsuccessful in obtaining a full cost CISS award. If candidates have not received an email by the end of April, they should assume that their application for a CISS award has not been successful.
