St Catharine’s College, Cambridge
Application form for Graduate History Bursary
Notes for Completing the Application (please retain this page for information)
The Graduate History Bursaries are available to students undertaking an MPhil degree in History at St
Catharine's College and will be awarded on the basis of academic excellence. The value of each bursary
is up to £10,000 per annum.
Preference will be given to applicants who have named St Catharine’s as their 1st or 2nd choice of
College. Where a successful applicant has been awarded membership at another College, they would be
expected to transfer their membership to St Catharine’s.
IMPORTANT: please note that a separate application to the University of Cambridge for admission to a
graduate course in History must be made by the applicant before applying for the bursary. Candidates
should thus submit their application to the Graduate Admissions Office at the earliest possible moment.
To do so, please visit http://www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/
Once you have applied to the University of Cambridge, please complete the enclosed application form,
and send it to the address below along with a copy of your application to the University of Cambridge
(GRADSAF), undergraduate transcript, transcript of any further degrees, letter of offer of admission to
the University of Cambridge, and any other documents you regard as relevant. A checklist is provided on
the final page of this form for your convenience. Please ask your referees to prepare copies of your
references in sealed envelopes to be also included in your application. The deadline for application is 30
April 2015. Please note that incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
The College expects to announce the Bursary in June for the forthcoming academic year. Where a
candidate is currently engaged in a course of study, the Bursary will be conditional upon the successful
completion of their course.
