Magdalene College is inviting eligible Zimbabwean scholars for the 2012 Clutton-Brock Scholarship program to pursue postgraduate level courses and research in the University of Cambridge.
Subject to the availability of funds, up to two Clutton-Brock Scholars in residence are available at any one time for a one-year graduate taught course, leading to a postgraduate qualification (usually the MPhil degree) and a three-year course of research, leading to the PhD degree.
The scheme is administered on behalf of the University of Cambridge and Magdalene College by the Board of Graduate Studies (for admission to the University) and the Cambridge Trusts (for funding).
Eligibility
The Scholarships are open to citizens of Zimbabwe, normally under the age of 35 and normally resident in Zimbabwe, who already have, or expect to obtain before 1 October 2012, a first class or high second class degree or its equivalent from a recognized University.
Preference will be given to students wishing to study subjects relevant to the development of Zimbabwe.

- the University composition fee (home rate: PhD; overseas rate: MPhil);
- approved College fees;
- a maintenance allowance for a single student; and
- a contribution to a return economy airfare.
