About

Kanders Churchill Scholars will hold a bachelor's degree (either as a major or minor concentration) in science, mathematics, or engineering, and will attend the Cambridge Master's in Public Policy.

Applicants for the Kanders Churchill Scholarship must be US citizens who are seniors when they apply or have graduated from any US institution. Unlike the other Churchill Scholarships, there will be no application to the Churchill Foundation.

Instead, candidates will state their interest in the Kanders Churchill Scholarship on their Cambridge application: (see https://www.polis.cam.ac.uk/study-at-polis/graduates/MPhilPP/fees-and-funding). The next deadline is Wednesday October 12, 2022, midnight UK time.

To apply for the Kanders Churchill Scholarship you should apply in the normal way using the Applicant Portal. Go to the section "Other funding you have, or have applied for." Tick the "yes" box for the question "Have you applied for or secured funding..." Then, under "Funding," choose "Scholarship/grant" from the drop-down list. For "Funding status," choose "I have applied for this funding." You can leave the "value," "duration," and "expected decision date" fields blank. Under "Please give details about this funding," you can briefly (100 words) describe your interest in being considered for the Kanders Churchill Scholarship.

In the section for 'College Preference' please indicate that Churchill College is your first choice. As with all Churchill Scholarships, applicants must put Churchill College as their first college choice. The selection process will be completed by the end of December. The Selection Committee will consider candidates’ academic achievements in STEM as well as their preparation for the Master’s in Public Policy.
