Gates Ambassadors reach out to prospective applicants

As part of the Gates Ambassadors program, Gates alumni have been giving information sessions about the University of Cambridge and the Gates Cambridge Scholarships.

A number of the 24 Gates Ambassadors have given information sessions at a various universities in the USA and other countries. Sessions have recently been held at a number of universities in the Boston and Los Angeles areas.

The Alumni Association has also organised a webinar about the Gates Cambridge Scholarships, primarily for a US audience, which can be heard here. Another webinar, primarily for a non-US audience, will be held on October 8th – further details are available here.
