This international scholarship program is one of several scholarships to study abroad that we recommend. Like Gates Cambridge Scholarships.
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship was established in 2000 through a donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This is a full scholarship aimed at international candidates outside the UK to pursue postgraduate and doctoral studies in all courses at the University of Cambridge, UK.
The Gates Cambridge 2022 scholarship application is a single application. Applicants applying to a postgraduate program at the University of Cambridge are simultaneously applying for the Gates Cambridge scholarship using the same application form. On the form, there will be "Gates Cambridge Statement" column that must be completed if you want to apply for the Gates Cambridge scholarship. The Statement asks you to explain why you are applying for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship and how you meet the four main criteria. In addition, there are also reference fields that must be filled in.
Registration is done online on the "Graduate Admission Office" page of the University of Cambridge.
