Each year Peterhouse College of the University of Cambridge offers a Bursary to a well-qualified graduate student from overseas who is not already a resident member of the College and who wishes to read for an undergraduate degree as an affiliated student or to pursue a one- or two-year taught course as a registered graduate student. The Bursary, established by the generosity of the Friends of Peterhouse, is intended to assist towards cost of study at Cambridge, is subject to reviews of dilligence and progress, and, if awarded for a course of more than one year's duration, is renewable once only to make a maximum of two years. The value of the Bursary is limited to the payment of University fees in Arts or Science subjects (but not Clinical Medicine). These figures for the academicical year 1999/00 were 6906 pounds (Arts), 9042 pounds (Sciences).

Candidates should be under twenty-five years of age on 1 December 2001. Prospective candidates over this age limit should write to the Senior Tutor explaining why they believe that their candidature should be considered; in certain circumstances (e.g., where an applicant's academic career has been unavoidably interrupted) allowances may be made. Candidates must be graduates of a University in the United Kingdom or elsewhere: if not graduates they should have graduated by August 2001. They must intend to be candidates for a degree in the University of Cambridge. Tenure of the Bursary is subject to the condition that the elected student be admitted for a place, if an Affiliated Student, at Peterhouse; if intending to read for a graduate degree, by Peterhouse and by the Board of Graduate Studies of the University of Cambridge. Application to the Board is made thorugh the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme (CIGAS) on CIGAS Form (A).

CIGAS application forms, together with the Graduate Studies Prospectus, may be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies, 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 IRZ, England. Prospective affiliated students should ask the College for a CIGAS Form (C).

In awarding the Bursary, first consideration will be given to candidates who nominate Peterhouse as their College of first preference in the CIGAS applications. The Bursary may only be held at Peterhouse. Subject to age, all affiliated students and all graduate students (except those intending to study Clincal Medicine) are eligible provided that normally, in both classes, they are liable for University fees at the overseas rate.

Application forms may be obtained from the Senior Tutor, Peterhouse, Cambridge, CB2 IRD, England to whom completed applications, together with a curriculum vitae, should be returned by 1 April 2001. (Those wishing to be affiliated students are reminded that applications for places at all Colleges in the University of Cambridge for affiliated students close on 15 October 2000. The Peterhouse Bursary is decided after 1 April 2001.)
