Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme for Oversea Foreign PhD Students

The University of Cambridge will offer, via the Cambridge Trusts, approximately 80 Cambridge International Scholarships to Overseas Students who embark on a research course in the next academical year.

University of Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme (CISS)
Eligibility
To be eligible to receive a Cambridge International Scholarship students must:

be liable to pay the Overseas University Composition Fee (i.e. be assessed as ‘Overseas’ for Fee Status purposes).
   
be engaged in a three year research programme leading to the PhD (i.e. will be registered as PhD, “Probationary PhD” or “CPGS”) starting in the next academical year.
   
be engaged in full-time study.
   
have a high upper-second-class undergraduate honours degree from a UK Higher Education Institution, or an equivalent from an Overseas Institution.

About 80 scholarships will be given

Eligible courses are three year research programmes leading to the PhD. Thus, the award has a maximum duration of three years.

Each award will underwrite the full cost of fees and maintenance for the duration of the course.


HOW TO APPLY

In order to be eligible for a CISS award commencing in the next academical year, you must have applied for admission/continuation as a graduate student to the University of Cambridge either online (admission students only) or via the Graduate Admission and Scholarship Application Form (GRADSAF) by the deadline date below.

Every eligible applicant for a three year research course leading to the PhD in the next academical year will be considered to have applied for a Cambridge International Scholarship provided their completed application for admission is received by the deadline below.

It is important to visit the official website (link to it is below) for complete information on how to apply for this scholarship.


DEADLINE

All applications for admission/continuation as a graduate student to the University of Cambridge must be concluded by 2 December 2014.

It is important that you send in your supporting documentation as soon as possible after you have applied for admission online, because your application will not be looked at until this is received. The closing date for this funding is firm - no late applications can be considered.

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

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.

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