Applications

There are NO specific forms on which applications should be submitted.

Awards to students, undergraduate or graduate of either gender are made on the basis of potential established financial need.   Applications should address the following criteria, which are those that the Trustees will use to judge suitability for an award: 

• Applications must be supported by an appropriate senior member of the University able to comment on the applicant's financial circumstances.  The most weight is given to those applications that are supported by the applicant's Tutor.
• Applicants should normally be resident members of, and competing for, the University.
• Eligible sports should normally be those for which Cambridge Blues or Half-blues are awarded.
• Financial need must be adequately established, but levels of cost should also be taken into account.
• Excellence in academic or in other extra-curricular areas should weigh in favour of applications.
• If need is equal, actual or potential sporting excellence demonstrated by achievement should be decisive.
• Neither gender nor a wish to spread between sports should influence awards.

The closing date for applications is usually during the Lent Term, and will be advertised to all Colleges and Sports Clubs, as well as on this web site.
