What can make it affordable

The Cambridge Trust offers undergraduate scholarships to international ('overseas fee status') applicants at any Cambridge College, in any subject — but Cambridge's own site is explicit that 'few full undergraduate scholarships are available; most support is a partial contribution and is means-tested.'

Search-engine summaries of Cambridge's own pages cite a typical award in the range of roughly £10,000-£15,000/year toward tuition fees, but we could not independently confirm this exact figure on a static official page during verification (the Cambridge Trust's scholarship-search tool is JavaScript-rendered and did not return content to our automated check) — treat this as a range to verify directly with the Cambridge Trust, not a confirmed number. You must already hold a conditional offer of admission from a Cambridge College before applying; your College forwards the Trust application details afterward. Some College-specific bursaries also exist separately, varying by College.

International undergraduate course fees typically run £30,000-£45,000+/year depending on subject, plus living costs and a separate College fee.

This figure is the least confidently verified on this page — re-confirm the current award range directly with the Cambridge Trust (cambridgetrust.org) or your prospective College before relying on it. Do not expect a full ride here the way MIT or Yale can offer one.
