Established by Charles Craig ‘72, who studied at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge after graduating from Brown, the Craig Cambridge Fellowship provides an opportunity for one graduating senior or recent graduate to pursue a Masters Degree (M.Phil) in the humanities or social sciences at the University of Cambridge as a resident of Selwyn College. 

The successful candidate will demonstrate academic distinction, particularly in his or her field of study, service to Brown and the surrounding community, leadership, and character. He or she will have a compelling reason for wanting to study at Cambridge and be an excellent match for the program of study for which he or she is applying at Cambridge. 

The scholarship covers tuition, matriculation and laboratory costs, travel, and room and board at Selwyn College, Cambridge..
