Scholarships for Graduate Study in the UK

Pre-Application Deadline: June 14

The Office of Undergraduate Research & Scholar Development (OURSD) is excited to share upcoming scholarship opportunities for funded graduate study at Cambridge, Oxford, or another university in the United Kingdom:

• The Churchill Scholarship fully funds a one-year master’s degree in a STEM field at the University of Cambridge
• The Gates Cambridge Scholarship fully funds one to four years of graduate study in any field at the University of Cambridge
• The Marshall Scholarships fully fund one to three years of study leading to one or more graduate degrees in any field at any British university
• The Rhodes Scholarship fully funds two to three years of study leading to a graduate degree in any field at the University of Oxford

Rising seniors and recent alumni who are U.S. citizens are eligible to apply. Given the coveted nature of these awards, competitive applicants will have maintained a QPA of 3.7 or higher and will have a strong demonstrated track record of extracurricular activities like research, leadership and/or service.

Carnegie Mellon University can only nominate a limited number of applicants for each of the U.K. Awards, so applicants must participate in our campus nomination process in order to apply. Applicants need to submit the required Pre-Application Form (pdf) and all necessary supporting documents by June 14, 2024 to be considered for nomination.

Applicants are also encouraged to sign up for a one-on-one advising appointment with Paige Zalman, Alex Johnson or Richelle Bernazzoli.

Dietrich College Internship Opportunity Grants

Application Deadline: Rolling

Dietrich College encourages its undergraduate students to find and undertake professionally relevant and meaningful internship opportunities. We understand that many of these opportunities are unpaid or, at best, provide minimal compensation. Yet it is often these very positions that provide students with the most meaningful work experiences in helping them define and move forward toward their career goals.

The Dietrich College Internship Opportunity Grant Program makes it more possible for our undergraduate students to take advantage of less remunerative but worthwhile off-campus internship opportunities.

Dietrich College has established its Study/Travel Abroad Grant Program to encourage its undergraduate students to consider pursuing meaningful opportunities abroad by making it more financially possible to take advantage of these experiences.  The program provides support for both traditional study abroad programs, and for non-study abroad experiences such as service learning opportunities, internships, research and conference travel.

Grants are available for both individual students and groups of students who meet the program’s eligibility requirements.
