Phd in Education - Cambridge - 2024

Hi all--I'm the American who has posted here previously! I was very excited to get offers from both Cambridge and Oxford, but sadly I am not able to self-fund, and I am not in the position to wait until May-July for funding news. I accepted a fully funded + stipend offer in the US just this week. Wishing you all the best of luck as you wait to hear news about funding! Sad that I won't be able to meet any of you on campus in the fall, but hoping our paths might cross in the education world elsewhere 🙂

I am wondering too. I have screened the messages from that general to see if there's one PhD education student in there, but none. Are there any Africans here? For Cambridge African Changemakers

Somebody wrote on the Official PG thread that they received the Cambridge African Changemakers Scholarship last week on 20/03.
Good luck to you!

Wow! I just saw it.
I had my hopes on that but I guess it's early days to lose hope. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Best wishes to all of us here🙌🏾

You are simply amazing.
Wow!! How are you all doing that? Being so positive and hopeful. With March officially almost over, I am terrified to my core. Maybe because I have no backups I have applied to.

Haha, Thank you!
But I must say that I have my fair share of anxiety as well but I choose to be idealistic or to see the
'bright side of things'. It's strategic. It's critical because that's how I learned to survive through everything. I'd rather be optimistic and wrong than be pessimistic and right.
We will all win, eventually

Nothing yet but I'm doing everything I can to secure funding in my country. There's a scholarship between a ministry and Cambridge, and I plan to make it work or at least have some answers..... I have nothing to lose.
Good luck, you guys!

Hello!
Long time lurker here. Just wanted to join you as a fellow Education PhD applicant at Cambridge. I received my offer on the 14th of February as an international applicant. I was nominated for the ESRC CAM DTP and was informed by the DTP that I am a reserve candidate (I emailed the DTP). That means I could be given an offer if others decline and if I do not hear from them by April, I should assume that I did not make the cut. I do not have any information regarding where I am on the list and I actually have no expectation of receiving an offer from the DTP. Nevertheless, I am really proud of making the reserve list.
It's really nice to find myself among you who are in the same boat. Best of luck to everyone!

Hey! WELCOME TO THE PACK😊 We are happy to have you here.
Glad to hear from someone who received a nomination to the Research Council! We were a bit worried about being the wrong representation of the Ph.D. in Education population. Now that you are here, I am quite relieved. Congratulations on making it to the reserved DTP list; that's an accomplishment in itself. I understand your concern about possibly not making it into the DTP, but I think you should wait and see. You never know, right? Either way, the amazing news is that you have a very high probability of securing funding from the Cambridge International Trust. I hope you secure some kind of finances soon. Let us know when you do😊 Wishing you the greatest of luck for your funding journey!!
Stick around.

Hi all, hope you’re well!
I got ESRC DTP offer on 20 March - feel very lucky. Was doing a phd at Teachers College but it wasn’t for me…
I was thinking of applying to a peterhouse fund and a fund at my new college so check out any college funding if you haven’t already.
Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for everyone here!!
