Studying at Cambridge
 
 

You will need to complete three forms

  1. The Blyth Scholarship application form, which must be completed, along with an up-to-date transcript, your most recent report card, two letters of support from teachers and one from a member of the community, a passport sized photo, a list of academic achievements, your 1000 word essay and proof of citizenship (birth certificate or passport) by October 8, 2010.

    Essay

    The essay is very important and should be approached conscientiously. Until the interview (if you are selected for one), it is the best way, along with the letters from your referees, for the committee to get a sense of your knowledge base,your interests, and your academic abilities. Please choose a topic which directly relates to the discipline you are applying to read. The essay should be a 1000 word exploration of this topic. You will be assessed on the depth of knowledge you demonstrate, as well as your written and analytical skills. Feel free to get creative, from the essay we are gauging what you feel passionate about academically and your ability to communicate that passion in an interesting fashion.

    Letters of recommendation

    Two letters of support from your teachers and one letter from a member of your community must be submitted with your application.

    Completed Blyth applications should be sent to:
