The Gates Cambridge Scholarship program was established in October 2000 through a generous donation of $210 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the University of Cambridge, marking the largest-ever single contribution to a UK university. The first cohort of scholars began their studies in October 2001, and since then, the Trust has granted over 2,000 scholarships to individuals from more than 100 countries.
Annually, Gates Cambridge offers approximately 80 fully-funded scholarships to exceptional candidates from countries outside the United Kingdom, enabling them to pursue postgraduate degrees in any field available at the University of Cambridge. The majority of these scholarships, roughly two-thirds, are awarded to Ph.D. students, with around 25 scholarships allocated in the U.S. application round and 55 in the International round.
Selection for these scholarships is based on several criteria, including exceptional intellectual capabilities, a clear rationale for the chosen course of study, a strong commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others, and demonstrated leadership potential.
At any given time, Cambridge hosts approximately 250 Scholars representing about 50 different countries. These scholars span a wide array of academic disciplines offered by the University and are integrated into its various departments and Colleges, while also forming a unique and cohesive community of their own.
Furthermore, a global community of over 1,700 Gates Cambridge Alumni is spread across the world, all united by the mission of the Gates Cambridge program, which is to establish a worldwide network of future leaders dedicated to enhancing the well-being of others. This mission is pursued by selecting outstanding scholars, providing them with both financial and non-financial support at one of the world's foremost educational institutions, and fostering community connections within and beyond the University of Cambridge.
