Student Support Fund

The College has a number of general bursaries, awards and grants available for students, organised into the following three strands:

Costs relating to Wellbeing matters

The College can offer limited financial support for students who incur costs relating to wellbeing support during their studies.

Assistance for students in financial need

The College can offer limited financial support for students who find themselves in unexpected financial difficulties (e.g. expenses greater than income, sudden unforeseen cost, loss of parental support, etc.).
There is also some support for postgraduate students who need Extension Funding to finish their doctoral studies.

Encouragement for certain activities and opportunities

This strand is to encourage students to explore the rich and diverse range of non-compulsory activities which are available to them at Cambridge, such as sports, arts, performing, skills, competition, travel, and career development.


Additionally, there are a number of prizes, grants and awards for some eligible students: these may be subject-specific. Please have a look at linked page for full details of all the available grants and prizes this year:  College Prizes and Subject-specific Grants
