Full-cost PhD scholarships (fees + maintenance) for students from any African country starting October 2027; the application cycle opens September 2026.
No separate scholarship form - consideration is automatic when you apply for admission and opt into funding by your course's funding deadline (typically early December 2026 or early January 2027 depending on the course; confirm exact date in the Cambridge Postgraduate Course Directory once the cycle opens). The Changemakers programme has supported African doctoral researchers across biomedical sciences, public health and clinical medicine. Combined with departmental funding, it offers a realistic route for talented Ugandan graduates aiming for UK PhD study.
