Gates Cambridge Scholarship
University of Cambridge
In October 2000, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation of Seattle, Washington, made a donation of $210 million to the University of Cambridge, England, in order to establish the Gates Cambridge Trust.
This magnificent benefaction creates in perpetuity an international scholarship programme for outstanding students from outside the United Kingdom who gain admission to the University of Cambridge to pursue graduate studies. These individuals will combine academic excellence with leadership potential, and a commitment to serving their communities.
No institutional endorsement required. Students apply for the scholarship and to Cambridge at the same time.
