Scholarships

The UK
has voted to leave the European Union.  It is not currently known how long
that process will take or the impact that it will have on UK policy on higher
education tuition fees, loans and bursaries.

However,
the University of Cambridge has confirmed that:

a)  
EU students who are already studying at Cambridge, who have an offer to study
at Cambridge, or who apply to start their studies in 2017, will not be subject
to the Overseas fee at any point during the course of their
study, provided this continues to be permitted by UK law. The fee for
those students will remain at the Home/EU rate applicable at the time (which
for undergraduate students may be up to the maximum level allowed under UK law
for each year).

b)  
The fees for all applicants, including Home/EU students, considering entry in
2018 (including deferred entry from 2017) have yet to be set.

A fuller
statement from the University’s Vice-Chancellor can be found here.

The
Trust, which remains committed to supporting international students at the
University of Cambridge, will monitor developments closely and publish guidance
where appropriate as details become available.
