Partnership with University of Cambridge

The Manmohan Singh Bursary Fund is a donation received by the University of Cambridge from Bharti Airtel Ltd. and the Eranda Foundation. It is part of the university’s strategy to encourage young scholars from India to build their potential as global leaders in an enriched academic environment. The fund is named in honor of India’s former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a doctorate holder from the University of Cambridge.


The bursaries are awarded to school graduates with excellent academic records who are otherwise unable to fund their studies at Cambridge. They provide fully-funded support, including tuition fees and living expenses, for undergraduate study in any subject (except Medicine and Veterinary Medicine).
