The University of Cambridge in the UK is inviting applications for The Rowan Williams Cambridge Studentship established by the Cambridge Trust to support students who face severe barriers in coming to study in Cambridge in 2021.
The award is available to both graduate and undergraduate students wishing to study in Cambridge in 2021/2022 academic year.

To be eligible, applicants need to:
- hold a conditional offer of admission to the University of Cambridge for any degree;
- be from an area of instability or zone of conflict;
- be, or have been, at risk of discrimination, persecution, suffering, violence or other abuse of their human rights.
Applicants do not need to have Refugee status.
Worth of Award
Named after the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the Rowan Williams Cambridge Studentship is a full-cost award available to undergraduate and graduate students, covering tuition fees and maintenance, which will, in some instances, also assist with students’ upfront expenses such as travel, visa costs and the immigration health surcharge.
