In collaboration with BP Egypt, the Cambridge Overseas Trust offers a number of scholarships annually to enable graduates of outstanding academic merit to pursue courses of study in subjects to be considered on their merits at the University of Cambridge.
The scholarships are open to citizens of Egypt who already have, or expect to obtain before October 2010, a first class or, exceptionally, a high second class honours degree or its equivalent from a recognised university.
Scholarships are offered for graduates to pursue a one-year postgraduate course of study. The scholarships, tenable for one year, will normally cover the University Composition Fee at the overseas rate, approved College fees, a maintenance allowance sufficient for a single student (no dependants’ allowances will be paid) and a contribution towards a round-trip airfare.
Preference will be given to candidates seeking degrees in petroleum related areas, as well as business, economics and development studies.
