If you are awarded a full Cambridge Bursary, you’re automatically nominated (you do not need to apply) for these 3 other awards and scholarships that the scheme administers. They are funded by donors. If you’re successful you’ll be told at the start of the academic year. You can decline the award if you do not want to accept it.
