In a move to support Indian students pursuing international qualifications, the University of Southampton Delhi has partnered with Cambridge International Education—the global education wing of Cambridge University Press & Assessment—to launch the Cambridge Scholarship Awards.
As part of this collaboration, up to four competitive scholarships will be offered to Cambridge A-Level graduates in India applying for the August 2025 intake. Each selected scholar will receive a flat tuition fee contribution of ₹2.2 lakh for the 2025–2026 academic year. Applicants will be evaluated by the university’s Scholarship Committee based on their academic record and A-Level results.
Additional Benefits for Applicants
- Application fee waiver for Cambridge students applying between May 1–31, 2025
- Expedited application review by a dedicated team for Cambridge-affiliated candidates
Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Vishal Talwar, Chief Operating Officer of University of Southampton Delhi, said:
“Cambridge A-Level graduates bring with them a strong academic foundation and a global perspective. This partnership allows us to equip the next generation of leaders with the resources and support needed to thrive internationally.”
Vinay Sharma, Senior VP of International Education (South Asia), Cambridge, added:
“This initiative gives Indian Cambridge students direct access to a world-class education right at home, opening new pathways without the need to go abroad.”
The Cambridge International Education group, which administers qualifications such as IGCSE, AS, and A Levels, currently operates in over 810 schools across India.
The University of Southampton has been recognized among the Top 125 global institutions for employability in the QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022.
