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 scholarship is open exclusively to students who are normally resident in North America (including the Caribbean) and South America, and 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.

We particularly encourage applications from prospective students who have faced disadvantage, or come from underrepresented backgrounds, to access postgraduate study at Cambridge.

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.
