The University has introduced a new scholarship scheme for undergraduate students from Pakistan. The 800th Anniversary Scholarships have been created with funding from Cambridge Assessment, parent of Cambridge International Examinations who provide school exams throughout Pakistan.
The scholarships, to be held at the University of Cambridge, are for school-leavers from Pakistan who meet the usual entrance requirements for admission to Cambridge. Applicants for all courses except Medicine and Veterinary Medicine are eligible to apply. The scholarships are not available if you’re applying as an affiliated applicant.
The scholarships will cover the cost of your tuition fees and College fees together with a grant towards maintenance and travel costs for each year of your course. The maintenance element of the scholarship will take account of your financial circumstances.
The scholarships are competitive and are conditional on a College offer of a place to study at Cambridge, including meeting any immigration and English language requirements. Continuation of the scholarship from year to year will be conditional on satisfactory examination performance.
If you meet the conditions above and wish to be considered for an 800th Anniversary Scholarship, you should complete a scholarship application form and apply for a place at Cambridge in the usual way, submitting a Cambridge Overseas Application Form (COAF) together with your 800th Anniversary Scholarship application form by 1 August 2010, and a UCAS application as soon as you are able.
