University of Cambridge scholarships awarded to learners in Pakistan and India
24 April 2012
We are pleased to announce the winners of this year's University of Cambridge 800th Anniversary Scholarships and Manmohan Singh Scholarships funded by our parent organisation, Cambridge Assessment.
The scholarships provide full funding for undergraduate study at the University of Cambridge and are awarded to students in India and Pakistan who have received an offer of a place at the University. The scholarships were launched in 2009 to provide financial assistance to exceptional students who would not otherwise be able to afford to go to Cambridge.
