Cambridge Bursary Scheme
The Cambridge Bursary provides free financial support of up to £3,500 a year for full-time undergraduate students, to help with your Cambridge living costs. The payment is non-refundable, meaning you don’t need to pay it back. It doesn’t matter what you’re studying or which College you’re at. Higher amounts are available for medical students in their clinical years, independent students including care leavers, and students who were eligible for free school meals. Visit the What you could get page for more information.
Cambridge offers one of the most generous bursary support packages in the UK. Over £10 million a year is awarded to undergraduate students from low and middle income families through the Cambridge Bursary Scheme. We grant over 3,300 Cambridge Bursaries annually, which equates to one in three of our UK undergraduates, and almost half of those receive the maximum award.
Who are these pages for?
These generous bursaries are only available for full-time Home undergraduate applicants and current students.
