<p>Gates</a> Cambridge Scholarships - New Scholars</p>
<p>The Gates Foundation has announced the new class of Gates Scholars for 2013. Each year 90 scholars are selected from around the world with about 40 of them coming from the U.S. Gates scholars are academically outstanding students who show leadership potential, a commitment to improving the lives of others and a good academic fit with Cambridge. They are international and pursue a wide range of academic subjects at Cambridge. Gates alumni are spread throughout the world and pursue a multitude of careers. </p>

<p>The Gates Cambridge Scholarships were established by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000 with a $210 million endowment to enable outstanding graduate students from outside the United Kingdom to study at the University of Cambridge. The awardees are given funding for postgraduate study at the University for the duration of the degree. The award includes all tuition costs and a maintenance allowance and a return economy airfare. The first scholars arrived at Cambridge in October 2001, and the Scholarship celebrated its 10th anniversary in July 2010.</p>
<p>The Gates Scholarships are similar in structure to Oxford University's Rhodes Scholarships, although the Gates Scholarships are much younger and are awarded through a more centralized though similarly competitive selection process. Their duration is also more flexible, as the Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships generally only last for two years (sometimes three).</p>

<p>Last year Princeton led the nation with five Gates Scholars. This year it was second in the nation with three scholars while Harvard led with five. Duke, Rutgers, Stanford and Yale shared third with two scholars each.</p>
