Beware of scams offering support with your application

We’ve been made aware of a scam where applicants are offered support with their application, supposedly from a representative of the University of Cambridge, in return for payment.

The scammer is using a gmail account, not an official Cambridge email address.

Please note, you should not pay anyone for support with your application and applications must be submitted by the prospective scholar.

Instead, anyone seeking support with their application is encouraged to:

• Explore the guidance on this website.
• Review the Pre-Application Mentorship Project toolkit here. This toolkit was put together by University of Cambridge students who have successfully navigated the application process.
• For questions, please contact admin@mastercardfoundation.fund.cam.ac.uk.
