Dear Cambridge Alumni,

The Directors of CAS warmly invite you, as a fellow Cambridge alumnus, to help us support the next generation of outstanding Australian minds — individuals with the passion, curiosity, and potential to lead in their fields. Your generosity makes it possible for these scholars to pursue transformative postgraduate study and research at Cambridge, and to join the global network of leaders that Cambridge produces.

Why support outstanding Australians to study at Cambridge?

Cambridge Australia Scholarships is the leading source of funding for Australians undertaking postgraduate study at Cambridge — made possible entirely through private philanthropy. At any given time, over 23 Australian scholars are in residence at Cambridge, supported wholly or in part by CAS in partnership with the Cambridge Commonwealth, European and International Trust.

On behalf of the Board, we extend our warmest thanks for your ongoing support and wish you good health and happiness in 2026.
