The Gates Cambridge Scholarship 2026 is a fully funded scholarship UK for international students seeking postgraduate scholarships for international students at the University of Cambridge.
The scholarship was established in 2000 with a $210 million donation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It supports outstanding scholars pursuing Master’s and PhD programs across all disciplines.
Each year, Cambridge awards around 80 scholarships. Of these, 25 go to US applicants and 55 to international applicants. The program focuses on academic excellence, leadership potential, and societal impact.
The scholarship covers full tuition, a living allowance, travel costs, and extra funding for conferences, fieldwork, or family needs. Applicants must be citizens outside the UK. They apply through the Cambridge scholarship application process.
With a vibrant global network of scholars and alumni, the Gates Cambridge Scholarship 2026 provides financial support and worldwide connections. It helps students achieve their goals while making a meaningful impact.
