Cambridge University scholarships for applicants from Pakistan

 

Under the University of Cambridge 800th Anniversary Scholarship Programme, the University has introduced a new scholarship scheme for applicants for undergraduate admission from Pakistan for 2010 entry onwards. The details are as follows:

 

The scholarships are for school-leavers from Pakistan who meet the usual examination qualifications for admission to Cambridge. Applicants for all courses except Medicine and Veterinary Medicine are eligible to apply.

 

The scholarships are not available if a student already has a degree and is therefore applying to Cambridge as an affiliated applicant.

 

The scholarships will cover the cost of tuition fees and College fees together with a grant towards maintenance and travel costs for each year of the course. The maintenance element of the scholarship will take account of the students’ financial circumstances.

 

The scholarships are competitive and conditional on a College offer of a place to study at Cambridge, including meeting any immigration and English language requirements. Continuation of the scholarship from year to year will be conditional on satisfactory examination performance.

 

All students who meet the conditions above and wish to be considered for an 800th Anniversary Scholarship should complete a scholarship application form and apply for a place at Cambridge in the usual way, submitting a UCAS application and a Cambridge Overseas Application Form (COAF) together with the scholarship application form by 20 September 2009. Applicants for the scholarships will be interviewed in Pakistan in October/November 2009.
