Cambridge Caribbean Scholarship
The Cambridge Trust is proud to offer a new studentship for students from the Caribbean region, in partnership with the University of Cambridge and Trinity College. The studentship is tenable at any College and is open to applicants at Masters or PhD level in any discipline.
Selection will take into account the impact on the Caribbean region that students will have through their study or research whilst at Cambridge and after they graduate.
The programme recognises the historic disadvantage of the region and the potential of young people to act as catalysts for change.
In response to the 2022 report on the University's legacies of enslavement, the Vice-Chancellor committed to working with partners to create dedicated postgraduate scholarships for students from the Caribbean.
The programme supports students who demonstrate outstanding academic ability, enabling them to study at the University of Cambridge. Alumni will form a cohort of talented people who contribute to the future development of the Caribbean region.
