Scholarship Merits

A Gates Cambridge Scholarship covers the full cost of studying at Cambridge, including tuition fees, maintenance allowance, travel costs, visa, etc. It also provides extra discretionary funding, such as academic development funding, family allowance, fieldwork.

How the Funding for the Bill Gates Scholarship Works

A Gates Cambridge Scholarship covers the full cost of studying at Cambridge. It also provides additional discretionary funding.

Core Components

• The University Composition Fee at the rate
• A maintenance allowance for a single student (£17,848 for 12 months at the 2021-22 rate; proportionally for courses shorter than 12 months)–for PhD scholars, the award is for up to 4 years
• one economy single airfare at both the beginning and end of the course

The University Composition Fee varies for different students; applicants should check the Graduate studies prospectus for full details about precise amounts. Where a student from the European Union has been successful in gaining a fees award from public authorities, they must accept this and the Trust will not pay these fees.

Discretionary Components

However, the Trust also considers applications for different types of additional funding discretionarily:

• Academic development funding–from up to £500 to up to £2,000, dependent on the length of your course, to attend conferences and courses.
• Family allowance–up to £10,120 for one child and up to £14,440 for two or more children (2021-22 rate). Funding is not provided for a partner.
• Fieldwork–you may apply to keep up to your normal maintenance stipend while on fieldwork as part of your PhD (the Trust does not fund other fieldwork costs as these should be funded by the University Composition Fee).
• Maternity/Paternity funding–should you require it. Also, you may apply to intermit your studies for up to 6 months and continue to receive your maintenance allowance during this time.
• Hardship funding–for unforeseen difficulties.
