The aim of the Gates Cambridge Scholarship programme is to build a global network of future leaders committed to improving the lives of others.
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship programme was established in October 2000 by a donation of US$210m from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the University of Cambridge; this is the largest ever single donation to a UK university.
