The program will offer a substantial number of scholarships for study as an affiliated student or to pursue taught or research courses of postgraduate study at the University of Cambridge.
The Gates Cambridge Scholarships cover: University and College fees at applicable rates, a maintenance allowance sufficient for a single student, a contribution towards return airfare and other discretionary allowances, and a contribution to Colleges for a mentoring program.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. Government's premier scholarship program. Each year it allows nearly 700 Americans to study or conduct research in more than 100 nations. The U.S. Student Program is designed to give recent B.S./B.A. graduates, master's and doctoral candidates, and young professionals and artists opportunities for personal development and international experience. Several host countries also offer teaching assistantships.
Grantees plan their own programs. Projects may include university course work, independent library or field research, classes in a music conservatory or art school, special projects in the social or life sciences, or a combination of these. Along with opportunities for intellectual, professional, and artistic growth, the Fulbright Program offers invaluable opportunities to meet and work with people of the host country, sharing daily life as well as professional and creative insights. The program promotes cross-cultural interaction and mutual understanding on a person-to-person basis in an atmosphere of openness, academic integrity, and intellectual freedom.
Students interested in applying for Fulbrights should begin to work on proposals during their junior year. The on-campus application deadline is October 5; a review of the proposal and an individual interview by the campus Fulbright Committee occur in mid-October; the final application is due in New York on October 23rd. Announcements of Fulbright grants are made from March through May.

Scholarship Opportunities in Mathematics or the Natural Sciences:
The Goldwater Foundation sponsors one and two year scholarships for students in the physical and natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics. Scholarships are aimed at students entering their junior or senior year in college and cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,000 per year.
The Foundation, established by the U.S. Congress as a federally endowed agency in honor of Senator Barry M. Goldwater, has been giving scholarships for five years. As of 2002, 3,600 scholarships worth more than $19 million have been given. The expectations for success are about 1 in 5. In 2002, three Gustavus students were awarded scholarships, an extraordinary accomplishment. These students were nominated by their major departments and selected by agreement among department chairs. All nominees professed an interest in graduate education, and all had been involved in research projects at Gustavus. The Goldwater program is a merit-based program; students must have excellent academic records. All of the Gustavus nominees have GPAs above 3.7.
Since nominations are made by departments, students interested in the program should contact their major department chair in October. Nominations will be made in November or December, and applications will be sent to the Foundation in January.

Law schools offer a limited range of both need-based and merit scholarships and grants. These are typically used to attract outstanding students, and minority and/or disadvantaged students who can contribute to the school's diversity. Most of these scholarships and grants come from the schools themselves, so the application process is unique to the particular institution involved. Legal education is expensive and the competition for grants and scholarships is extremely keen. Students who intend to seek such aid should consult with a pre-law advisor early in their undergraduate career, preferably by the spring semester of the sophomore year, for assistance in planning and application.

The Malmberg Scholarship and Study Program is intended to support programs - administered by the American Swedish Institute - which award scholarships for long-term or brief study visits to Sweden. Applicants must either be enrolled in an accredited college or university in a degree-seeking program, or be a qualified scholar engaged in study or research. Scholarships are usually granted for a full academic year term (nine months), but can also be awarded for study periods of shorter duration. They are granted for studies focused upon Swedish language, art, history or culture, or related topics on Swedish America and Swedish-American relations. A good knowledge of Swedish and/or English is required. These scholarships are not granted solely for elementary courses in Swedish.
Prior to application, the applicant must establish contact with a Swedish university or related educational or research institution. It is a requirement that a copy of the letter from the Swedish host institution accompany the application. The scholarships are designed to support the expenses for one person only, not for dependents. The scholarships may be used for travel purposes, and in combination with other scholarships.
Applications will be submitted by March 1 of each year. Awards will be made based upon the rankings, and the scholarships will be announced by May 1. The Institute will award at least two full-term scholarships annually and at least one shorter duration research stipend.

The Rhodes Scholarships owe their origin to the remarkable vision expressed in the will of Cecil J. Rhodes, a British colonial pioneer and statesman, who died on March 26, 1902. Rhodes Scholars are appointed for two years of study in the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year. All educational costs (such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees) are paid on the Scholar's behalf by the Rhodes Trustees. Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations. The Rhodes Trustees also cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford.
Standards by which prospective Rhodes Scholars are judged are (1) literary and scholastic attainments; (2) truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship; and (3) moral force of character and instincts to lead and to take an interest in one's fellow beings. Applications are sought from talented students without restriction as to their field of academic specialization or career plans.
Candidates for Rhodes Scholarships must submit academic transcripts, a brief essay by the candidate, and letters from persons suggested by the candidate. In addition, a personal interview is an important part of the selection process.
