PKP Summer Scholarships

The Pembroke-King's Programme provides a fantastic opportunity for students to experience living and studying in Cambridge for eight weeks, the length of a regular undergraduate term. Past participants have described the programme in glowing terms, with many considering it an extremely rewarding and life-changing experience, and it has even encouraged some to return to Cambridge as graduate students.

When awarding scholarships the College will take account of a range of criteria, including academic profile, extra-curricular interests, and the 'Statement of Purpose'. Applicants should inform their referees of these criteria.

To enable applications from exceptional candidates, Pembroke College created a new scholarship scheme in 2010. Pembroke offers scholarships each summer to cover the full cost of tuition, including the supervision option, for four students.

To be eligible to apply for a PKP Summer Scholarship, applicants must fulfil the following requirements:

• To have submitted their PKP Summer Scholarship application by midnight Greenwich Mean Time, Wednesday 1 February 2012. Please note: The College can only consider scholarship applications from students who have submitted a complete PKP application, including all supporting documents, by 20 January 2012 at noon Greenwich Mean Time.
• To be a second or second plus year undergraduate studying for their first degree at the time of application or a graduate student
• To have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5, or equivalent
• Not to have studied abroad during the course of their degree programme, i.e. international students enrolled in a full-time undergraduate degree course outside their home country may apply, but students who have been on short-term study abroad (e.g. semester, exchange, or vacation programmes etc.) may not apply

The scholarship application form is available through the online application system and applications for the PKP Summer Scholarships should be submitted through the online application system.

Decisions will be communicated to applicants by Wednesday 15 February 2012.

Any queries about the scholarships should be addressed to the PKP Scholarship Committee. Please also refer to the Essential Programme Information link on the sidebar.
