Supporting scholarships

If you are interested in supporting students at the University of Cambridge, we would be happy to discuss ways in which the Trust can work with you to ensure the effective and efficient use of your funds.

The Trust was founded in the 1980s by the University of Cambridge and has helped more than 22,000 students attain Cambridge Trust scholarships and enjoy the benefits of study at one of the finest universities in the world. We continue to work to make a Cambridge education accessible to outstanding students from any country, irrespective of social and economic background.

The Trust receives substantial annual funding from the University and Trinity College, and receives income from many of the University’s Colleges and Departments through various co funding arrangements. We also collaborate with a wide range of external funding partners including:

  • government departments and agencies
  • major educational establishments
  • charities
  • corporations
  • philanthropic foundations
  • individual donors

There are many ways funds are used to provide a Cambridge Trust scholarship. We work closely with the University’s Development & Alumni Relations Office to ensure an inclusive and thorough response to potential donors.
