We are delighted to announce three new postgraduate awards of up to £10,000 a year for applicants from the Asia Pacific region who are applying to Girton College and the University of Cambridge.

The Senior Tutor at Girton College, Dr Sandra Fulton, said

“I am delighted that Girton is able to offer these new post-graduate awards to encourage applicants from the Asia Pacific region to join our Girton global community. Since our foundation Girton has championed widening participation and inclusivity and these awards will help further diversify our global student body.”

For the academic year beginning October 2022 there will be two awards for permanent residents of Hong Kong, and one award for permanent residents of Singapore. Applicants should note that the University course deadlines, and Girton’s 25 March 2022 deadline for our postgraduate research awards, are fast approaching.

The Chan and Mok Scholarship is for permanent residents of Hong Kong (with a first priority for those who have studied at Po Leung Kuk schools) who wish to study for a Master’s degree – at Girton and the University of Cambridge.

The Girton Hong Kong Founders’ Scholarship is open to permanent residents of Hong Kong who wish to undertake postgraduate study – whether Master’s or PhD – at Girton and the University of Cambridge.

The Singapore Scholarship is open to permanent residents of Singapore who wish to undertake postgraduate study – whether Master’s or PhD – at Girton and the University of Cambridge.

The scholarships are advertised on the College website and on the University funding finder.
