Other eligibility requirements

The Gates Cambridge Scholarship provides funds to fully cover a scholars' non-controllable study costs. This would typically be between 拢30,000 - 拢45,000 per year. The exact amount will depend on the specific course fee and course length and whether the student is in receipt of any other funding awards.

In addition, the Gates Cambridge Scholarship provides a wide range of funding beyond fees and maintenance which could add up to a total funding package of around 拢60,000 per year.

This includes: a return flight and/or train ticket to Cambridge, visa costs and the NHS health surcharge; scholars are also eligible to apply for a range of discretionary funding during the tenure of their award such as Academic Development Funding for conferences and Child Allowance if bringing their child (children) with them to Cambridge. 

Candidates are assessed based on four criteria:

Outstanding intellectual ability
Reasons for choice of course
Commitment to improving the lives of others
Leadership potential
