Key dates

To ensure that they are considered for this scholarship, applicants must: 1) apply for admission to the University of Cambridge by the funding deadline specific to their course (please refer to the Postgraduate Course Directory); AND 2) check with the Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation the funding call deadlines and details of the application process, and apply accordingly.

The Trust’s awards period runs from the beginning of March to the end of July and is an ongoing process throughout that period. We aim to make our awards as early as possible, but some of our partner funded awards can take time, and sometimes when offers are declined we may be able to offer them elsewhere. Applicants will remain under consideration until the end of the awards period. We are not able to contact unsuccessful applicants. If you have not been contacted by the Trust by the end of the awards period, you should assume that your application has not been successful.
