EnterpriseTECH fees
The following fees apply to registered graduate students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff at different institutions:
| Your institution | Fee |
|---|---|
| University of Cambridge and affiliated institutions | £670 |
| Other UK universities | £895 |
| NHS employees outside the University of Cambridge | £895 |

University of Cambridge applicants, for instance, may be able to have their fees (fully or partly) covered by internal mechanisms from their departments, courses or colleges. However, this is not guaranteed and you must check and confirm with your own department and/or college first. We are also able to offer a limited number of 50% and full scholarship funds, mainly for postdocs and eligible PhD students (see criteria below). Self-funding is also an option.
External applicants should pay fees before the programme begins.
If you’re offered a place on the programme, a personal deposit of £35 is requested to secure your place. This deposit is deducted from the total programme fee. Please note the programme fee does not cover your transportation, sustenance or accommodation expenses.

Breaking Barriers Corporate Scholarship Programme
Number of awards
4
Eligibility
This scholarship programme invites applications from marginalised researchers affiliated with any UK university, as well as self-taught individuals navigating professional circumstances both in and out of work. These awards are designed to empower those grappling with financial constraints, representation deficits, limited access to professional networks, and challenges of bias and stereotyping.
We aim to help dismantle the barriers that stand in the way of potential, by cultivating a culture of corporate inclusivity. These scholarships are to inspire those who might otherwise perceive their dreams as unattainable, giving them the opportunity to fully participate in EnterpriseTECH.
Each award fully covers the programme fee and includes a discretionary grant for travel and accommodation. We believe that by championing diversity, fostering representation, and investing in untapped talent, we can ignite the spark of entrepreneurship in every corner of society. Empowerment begins here, and we’re committed to fostering it one scholarship at a time.
