Eligibility
These are guidelines on eligibility for scholarships from the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and the Cambridge Overseas Trust:

Subject
Application and Admission
Equality

Nationality

Applicants may be of any nationality except that of the United Kingdom (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) and except that of any member state of the European Union.
Applicants must be liable to pay University fees at the Overseas Rate.  To find out more about your fee status, see information for undergraduates and for postgraduates.
If you are an applicant from the UK or EU, see separate information for undergraduates and postgraduates.

Status
The Trusts do not accept applications from students who are part-way through a course at Cambridge, unless they are applying for funding towards a higher degree course following graduation.
Degree level

Applicants must be intending to start a course at the level of BA, BAaff, taught postgraduate (such as MPhil, MASt, LLM), and research postgraduate (such as PhD).
The Trusts will not normally support students at a degree level that is the same as, or lower than, a degree they already hold, with two exceptions – we will consider an application from a student who is required to take a second Masters at Cambridge in order to gain admission to the PhD here, or from a student who is proposing to study as an affiliated student at Cambridge for a second BA (lasting two years).
The Trusts do not have scholarships available for post-doctoral positions.
The Trusts welcome applications for part-time postgraduate degrees.  Part-time undergraduate study is not available at Cambridge.

Subject
Applicants may study any subject currently available at the University.
Application and Admission
Applicants must be admitted to the University of Cambridge through the normal academic procedures. The Trusts have no role in the admission of applicants to study at the University, and are not able to influence the chances of an applicant being offered a place.
The University sets minimum standards – check the requirements for undergraduates and for postgraduates.
Check the information on application deadlines for undergraduates and postgraduates.
Applicants are encouraged to meet the entry requirements of the University as early as possible, including (if necessary) the completion of an English language test.  This will help to prevent the Trusts from offering valuable scholarships to students who are ultimately unable to take up their places at Cambridge.
Applicants are also encouraged to read the Key points for undergraduate applicants or Key points for postgraduate applicants.

Equality

The Trusts are committed to equality of opportunity, and no applicant will be treated less favourably than another on the grounds of gender (including gender reassignment), marital or parental status, race, ethnic or national origin, colour, disability, sexual orientation, religion or age.  The primary consideration in the selection of Scholars will be applicants’ ability to meet the selection criteria for each scholarship.
Disabled students who receive scholarships from the Trusts may be eligible for supplementary funding to assist with additional costs, e.g. necessary adjustments in the study environment.
Some scholarships that are fully or partially funded by partners of the Trusts are allocated to students of particular nationalities.  But no students whose nationality is non-EU are excluded from the Trusts’ overall programme of scholarships.
