The scheme provides bursaries to students from the West Midlands to help them make the most of their studies at Cambridge University. The fund for the scheme arises out of our historical association with the West Midlands Examinations Board.
The scheme gives students bursaries of £3,000 per annum for the lifetime of their undergraduate studies. Bursaries will be awarded to up to approximately ten students. Applicants may choose whether the bursary is used for living costs or tuition fees or for a combination of both.
