About

The Faculty of Education has received an endowment fund called the Harry Desai Education Fund to support Masters students engaged in the study of teaching and education in the University. This will provide 1-2 Studentships each year which will cover Home student tuition fees (please note that it does not provide a maintenance allowance or any additional expenses). 

Eligibility: 

  • Applicants should be applying for a Masters degree (MPhil or MEd) at the Faculty of Education (includes full-time, 2-year part-time and PGCE-MEd); 
  • Applicants should be eligible for Home tuition fees. 
  • Preference will be given to applicants who are disadvantaged and also those who might otherwise be deterred from postgraduate study by financial circumstances.  

If you have further queries about applying for this fund, please contact graduate@educ.cam.ac.uk.
