Selection process
After the application form has been detailed and received by the Cambridge Judge Business School by March 6 a careful analysis of the application forms will be made. The awards will then be announced by the board, tentatively by the end of March. The main criterion for selection for Benavitch Scholarships is academic merit. It is deemed that after the selection of a candidate for the award, the student will become a full-time member of St. Catherine’s College. In case the student is already a member of another Cambridge College, the scholarship will be awarded on the condition that the particular student transfers himself to St. Catherine’s College as a full-time member, failure of which can lead to a withdrawal of the award. Other Info Thanks to a generous bequest from the late Maurice and Natalie Benavitch, St Catharine's is able to offer annual scholarships for MBA, MFin and EMBA and PhD students in Management Studies. The Benavitch Fund also allocates up to £5,000 per year to provide Travel and Research grants towards costs associated with research activities by Management Studies students.
