The contest is for outstanding female students from around the world aged 16-18. Essays will be marked by Cambridge University tutors and The Cambridge Exchange faculty and the strongest applicants will be offered a place on the course at varying amounts of scholarships (Full Scholarship, or Partial Scholarships as high as £4,000.00).

1. APPLY DIRECTLY THROUGH OUR WEBSITE: In addition to providing us with your reasons for applying to the programme (500-word Statement of Interest), you will choose one of the essay questions and write a 1,000-word essay that you will then email to us at admissions@cambridgeexchange.org.
2. THE SOONER YOU APPLY, THE BETTER: We will attempt to mark each essay within 48 hours of the submission. We begin making offers to the highest quality candidates immediately after marking the essays. We operate on a rolling admissions basis, so once the places are filled (40 places for our elite two-week course), we then make offers and place candidates on the waitlist.
