Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Scholarship
Eligibility
The trust offers scholarships and part-time bursaries to outstanding students from overseas who, without help, would be unable to take their places at Cambridge. Students must already have been accepted for admission by the University. Scholarships are normally attached to particular countries, levels of study and in some cases to specific areas of study.

Value
The trusts do not provide maintenance allowances for dependants. Bursaries are available to students irrespective of their nationality. Accordingly, applicants from countries not specified under the scholarship scheme will normally be eligible to be considered for a part-cost bursary.

The value of the bursary will be a partial contribution towards the costs of study at Cambridge and is determined according to the financial circumstances of each candidate.
