Requirements for Cambridge Trust Scholarship & Connecting with Computer Science Alumn

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in 11th grade, following the CBSE curriculum in India. My 10th-grade results were 89.8% (considering my top 5 subjects). However, I'm aiming for above 95% in my 11th-grade exams. My goal is to apply for an undergraduate degree in Computer Science at Cambridge, and I'm particularly interested in the Cambridge Trust Scholarship which covers both college and tuition fees.

I'd like to understand the specific requirements or qualifications necessary to be a strong candidate for this scholarship. Additionally, are there any ways to connect with Cambridge alumni, particularly those in the computer science field, to seek guidance on what to focus on and what to avoid in my preparation?

I would greatly appreciate any insights on how my academic performance and achievements (like potentially securing one IOI gold medal) could influence my chances.

Thank you!
CBSE isn't sufficient for Cambridge. You will need additional qualifications like A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate for example.
