4. Gates Cambridge Scholarship
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship programme was established in 2000 through a donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the University of Cambridge.
Each year, about 80 full-cost scholarships are offered to outstanding applicants from countries outside the UK to pursue a postgraduate degree in a course available at the University of Cambridge.
The selection criteria for this scholarship is based on student’s outstanding intellectual ability, reasons for choice of course, a commitment to improving the lives of others and leadership potential.
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship provides a fully-funded scholarship for Nigerian students who wish to study at the University of Cambridge. The scholarship covers tuition fees, travel costs, and a monthly allowance. The scholarship is open to students pursuing a master’s or Ph.D. degree in any subject.
