Does the Gates Cambridge Trust select students based on their ability to act as cultural ambassadors?
Acting as a cultural ambassador to the UK is not a formal component of selection. The Trust is interested in selecting applicants who are concerned global citizens interested in taking a lead role in addressing some of the many challenges facing the world. That said, one of the things that helps make Gates Cambridge Scholars unique is a commitment to social justice and community outreach. For instance, recent applicants have distinguished themselves with extra-curricular activities such as founding non-profit organizations or receiving awards for public service. The Trust also hopes that scholars will become active members of the Gates community, both during their time in Cambridge and in the future.
