The following entrance awards are available:
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 of £9,000 p.a. In practice most awards are partial awards, matching other funding thus 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 College hopes to award these graduate studentships in Arabic and Islamic studies, Law and Theology to candidates who intend to register for the Ph.D. Degree at the University of Cambridge. The studentships will have a value sufficient to pay College and University fees at the Home/EU rate for three years. The Arabic and Islamic Studentship is awarded owing to the generosity of HM the Sultan of Oman and of Professor E.G. Browne.
The College hopes to award these graduate studentships in History and Physics to candidates who intend to register for the Ph.D. Degree at the University of Cambridge. The studentships 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 (£3,168 in 2006-7), may be made to individual applicants, depending on need and the availability of funds.
The College is very pleased to be able to offer one studentship for an outstanding art historian, supported by the estate of Professor J.R. Lander. In order to be eligible, candidates must be applying to study for a Ph.D. degree in the History of Art at the University of Cambridge, with Pembroke as first-choice college. The studentship will, if necessary, pay full fees at the home rate, plus a maintenance allowance, for a maximum of three years. Candidates must continue with their applications for other funding where eligible (including applications to the ORS and the Cambridge Trusts in the case of overseas students). If no suitable candidate applies, the College may award the studentship to one of its applicants for a Ph.D. in History.
The College is offering a one-year studentship to a graduate student from one of the Eastern European countries of the European Union (currently the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia or Slovenia). The studentship is intended to support the M.Phil. degree or the Diploma, with a preference for Economics or related subjects. Candidates must also apply concurrently for funding from the Cambridge European Trust. It is intended that the Pembroke C&EE Studentship will provide a maximum of £9,500 towards fees and maintenance. It is hoped that an award from the CET will make up some of the shortfall.
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.
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.
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.
All applicants for any of these awards must apply in the first instance to the Board of Graduate Studies for their university place (forms available from the Secretary, Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ or on-line). Candidates should indicate on the BGS form that they are applying for a Pembroke College award. In making awards preference will be given to those who nominate Pembroke as their college of first choice.
Applicants should also complete a Pembroke Studentship form which can be obtained from the Graduate Secretary, Pembroke College, Cambridge CB2 1RF (email: graduates@pem.cam.ac.uk). 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. Preference will be given to candidates who apply to the University by 31 January 2007.
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.
