How to Apply for the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at University of Cambridge
Step 1
Apply for admission to the university using the course directory and state that you want to apply for funding.
A £50 application fee must be paid before you may submit your application for a Master’s program.
However, many African nations automatically receive a waiver of the charge; see the list here.
If the fee would be a financial hardship for you and you are from a nation that does not automatically receive a fee waiver, you can apply for a manual waiver of the fee.

Complete the separate Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program application form and explain how you fit the qualifying requirements as soon as possible, but no later than 5 January 2023, if you intend to apply for the Mastercard Foundation.
You must first have filed your course application through the applicant portal mentioned above for a special “Application Number” that you must put on the scholarship application form.
NB: Please be aware that in order to be given consideration for a scholarship, applicants must first get a conditional offer of admission from the university.
