Have you the academic ability to thrive at one of the world’s leading universities?
Are you passionate about improving the lives of others?
Have you the leadership skills to take others with you?
If
so, apply for a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. These highly-competitive,

of the UK to undertake a postgraduate degree in any subject at the
University of Cambridge. With a global network of over 1,000 Gates
Cambridge Scholars and Alumni from over 90 countries, you can be part of
a life-changing experience and change the lives of others.
Unlike
the Churchill, Marshall, Mitchell, and Rhodes Scholarships, applicants
must first apply and be admitted to the University of Cambridge in order

interested candidates do not have to be nominated by their University to
apply.
