About
The Boyce Family Scholarship offers up to £32,500/year to cover the University Composition Fee for full-time one-year MPhil studies. The College will also seek co-funding from other University partners to increase the amount of the award to cover a student's full costs, but this cannot be guaranteed.
The scholarship is open exclusively to students who are normally resident in North America (including the Caribbean) and South America.
Preference will be given to the following:
- students from backgrounds underrepresented at postgraduate level in their field of study, in the first instance, to women and students from racially minoritized backgrounds.
- who are pursuing an MPhil in Land Economy, or another course in the social sciences (including Geography) with a focus on the built environment, sustainability, and/or conservation.
The scholarship was established by Wolfson alumnus Mark Boyce, who completed his MPhil in Land Economy as a student at Wolfson in 1993-94. It is intended to improve access to postgraduate education for outstanding students who face financial challenges in taking up a place at Cambridge.
