The Churchill Scholarship provides an outstanding opportunity to pursue a one-year STEM degree by research at the University of Cambridge. It enables scholars to undertake a fully-funded, research-driven degree course in their chosen STEM discipline, working in world-class labs or institutes at Cambridge. The scholarship covers all University of Cambridge and Churchill College tuition and fees. In addition, students receive a living allowance, travel and research allowances and payment to cover visa fees.
Students considering the taught 'Math Tripos' (or 'Part III' Maths program at Cambridge) should read the guide to the course provided by the Churchill Foundation. Please note, this is not exclusively a gateway or prep-degree program for a PhD in another field. It is the number-one-ranked Maths program in the world and is exceptionally rigorous. Students should carefully consider whether this program is the best fit for their ambitions.
The University of Chicago may nominate up to two individuals for this competition. You must submit a complete Churchill Campus Application (including all four letters of recommendation) to be considered for institutional endorsement.
