Pembroke College

The following entrance awards are available:

COLLEGE RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS

Each year the College hopes to award a variety of studentships up to the value of three fully funded studentships. A fully funded studentship, where awarded, would pay a student's College and University fees and a maintenance allowance equivalent to that provided by the University's Domestic Research Studentships (about £8,500 p.a. in 2003-4). In practice most awards are partial awards, matching other funding and allowing more candidates to receive studentships. Preference in awarding these studentships will be given to candidates who intend to register for a Ph.D. degree at Pembroke. However, candidates registering to study for an M.Phil. will also be considered for an award if they are intending to carry on to a Ph.D. after they have finished their M.Phil.

THE NAHUM GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN PHYSICS

THE THORNTON GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN HISTORY

THE ZIEGLER GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN LAW

THE BETHUNE-BAKER GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN THEOLOGY

The College hopes to award these graduate scholarships in physics, history, law and theology to candidates who intend to register for the Ph.D. Degree at the University of Cambridge. The Scholarships will have a value sufficient to pay College fees for three years. Moreover, additional awards, of up to the equivalent of University fees for a Home student (£3,010 in 2004-5), may be made to individual applicants, depending on need and the availability of funds.

THE JANEWAY GRADUATE BURSARY IN ECONOMICS OR ECONOMIC HISTORY

The College hopes to award a bursary to assist a Graduate Student reading for a higher degree in economics, economic history, or related disciplines. The Bursary would be a one-time payment of a sum to be determined by the College, up to and including £2,500.

THE GROSVENOR-SHILLING BURSARY IN LAND ECONOMY

One bursary is available each year for a student applying for a graduate course leading to a Ph.D. in Land Economy. The bursary would be a one-time payment of £500.

GENERAL GRADUATE BURSARIES

Up to five other graduate bursaries are also available, irrespective of subject of study. These are awarded on merit to students at or before the commencement of a graduate degree. They can often assist the other funding applications of those candidates who are suffering from a funding shortfall. Each is a one-time award, usually of £500.

THE PEMBROKE AUSTRALIAN SCHOLARSHIP

One or two one-time awards, each of a value of £500, may be made annually from a Fund provided by an Australian Committee which raises money for this purpose. Applicants must normally reside in Australia and hold a qualification from an Australian tertiary institution. There is no restriction as to the academic field.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR ALL AWARDS

All applicants for any of these awards must apply in the first instance to the Board of Graduate Studies on CIGAS Form A (available from the Secretary, Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ). The awards are conditional on the selected students being admitted as a registered Graduate Student by the Board of Graduate Studies with effect from 1 October each academic year. Candidates should indicate on this form that they are applying for a Pembroke College award, and in making awards preference will be given to those who nominate Pembroke as their college of first choice.

All candidates are expected to apply for Research Council awards, and for the University's Domestic Research Studentships and Millennium Scholarships, if they are eligible. A candidate who is liable for University fees at the overseas rate is expected to apply through the Board of Graduate Studies for an Overseas Research Students (ORS) award and an Overseas Student Bursary. The College will take into account candidates' income from other sources when making awards.
