HRH The Prince of Wales Scholarships for Small Island Nations
These Climate Action Scholarships are for Masters and PhD students from small island nations. Working with His Royal Highness, the initiative was developed by Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Professor Stephen Toope, to recognise the disproportionate effects of climate change on Small Island Developing States and will support students on courses that engage with sustainability, helping them develop their existing skills and knowledge to address the severe effects of climate change in their countries. They are tenable at any college.
