Would they be:
🐾 A teacher?
🐾 A detective?
🐾 A CEO?
🐾 A professional athlete?
🐾 Head of Hospitality?
🐾 Or something completely different?

We’ll be keeping an eye out for the best canine career choices! 🐕💼

John Crook Scholarship – University of Cambridge

A fantastic opportunity for students and graduates who are considering further study at the University of Cambridge.

The John Crook Scholarship offers up to full funding for an affiliated student completing a second BA degree at St John’s College, University of Cambridge.

The scholarship is open to students who are the first generation in their family to attend university.

As an affiliated student, you can complete the more advanced parts of a Cambridge degree and achieve a Cambridge BA (Hons) in two years rather than the usual three. Some John Crook Scholars may also have the opportunity to progress to a one-year MPhil following their first year, where appropriate.

📅 Entry: October 2027
⏰ UCAS Cambridge application deadline: 15 October 2026
