Cambridge Bursary Scheme
The Bursary is free financial support of generally up to £3,500 a year for full-time undergraduate students, to help with your Cambridge fees or living costs. Like a scholarship or grant, the payment is non-refundable – you don’t need to pay it back.
Higher amounts are available for medical students in their clinical years, independent students including care leavers, and students who were eligible for free school meals.
