Gates Cambridge Trust
In October 2000, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced a donation of $210 million to the University of Cambridge to establish the Gates Cambridge Trust. The Trust administers the Gates Cambridge Scholarships - a prestigious international scholarship programme at the University of Cambridge.
Gates Cambridge Scholarships are available to outstanding young men and women from outside the United Kingdom who wish to pursue a full-time postgraduate degree in any subject offered at the University of Cambridge. Scholarships are awarded on intellectual ability, leadership potential, social commitment and a good match between the candidate and the University of Cambridge.
Full information about the scholarships is available from the Gates Cambridge Scholarships website.
