The Brockmann Cambridge Scholarship supports Mexican citizens who normally live in Mexico to pursue an eligible Master’s degree at the University of Cambridge. Cambridge Trust and the Becas Magdalena O. Vda de Brockmann Foundation jointly run the award, which is tenable at any Cambridge College.
Up to two scholarships may be awarded each year, although an award is not guaranteed if no eligible candidate is selected. Applicants must complete both the Becas MOB process and the Cambridge admission process.
Benefits & funding
- The scholarship pays University tuition fees at the international rate.
- It provides maintenance for one person at a rate no lower than the University minimum; awards for courses shorter than 12 months are adjusted proportionally.
- It covers the Student visa and Immigration Health Surcharge.
- The award lasts for the tenure of the recipient’s course.
- Recipients must repay 30% of the Brockmann Foundation’s portion of the scholarship without interest after returning to Mexico.
