New postgraduate scholarships in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics
Engineering is one of the subjects that Parasol Cambridge Scholars will be able to study
A gift of £90,000 from The Parasol Foundation Trust to the Cambridge Commonwealth European and International Trust at the University of Cambridge will create two scholarships for outstanding postgraduate students to undertake studies in science, technology, engineering or mathematics subjects over the next three years.
The Parasol Cambridge Scholarship will enable exceptional students, who would otherwise be unable to undertake postgraduate studies, to benefit from Cambridge’s pre-eminent teaching and research at world-renowned facilities such as the Dyson Centre for Engineering Design and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
Our mission is to enable change by supporting talented individuals and core centres of health and education, in order to create a better future for the next generation. Through education, cutting-edge technologies, advanced medical treatments and culture preservation, we hope to contribute to a better and brighter future.
