University of Cambridge scholarships for European students

Cambridge Trust scholarships for undergraduate students
The Cambridge Trust offers a small number of part-cost scholarships, usually up to £10,000 each, for students with Overseas fee status, including European students. Applicants must demonstrate both financial need and significant academic achievement and potential.
To apply for a Cambridge Trust scholarship, students will first need to receive an offer of admission from a Cambridge College via the standard undergraduate application process. Offer-holders will be invited by their College to complete a separate application to the Trust.
