…Northwestern had more recipients than any other institution except for Princeton University…The Gates Cambridge Scholarships, established by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2001, have been called the “Rhodes Scholarships” of Cambridge. The scholarships provide funding for a second bachelor’s degree or graduate study at the University of Cambridge. This includes university and college fees, maintenance allowance sufficient for a single student, contribution toward return airfare and other discretionary allowances.</p>

<p>The Gates differs from many overseas competitions in that the student must apply both to the university and to the Gates Foundation. Students must be accepted by Cambridge before they are allowed to accept a Gates.
