HRH The Prince of Wales Scholarships for Small Island Developing States
The ‘HRH The Prince of Wales Scholarship for Small Island Developing States’ is part of a new programme of climate action scholarships for students from small island nations developed by Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Professor Stephen Toope, working with His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The initiative recognises the disproportionate effects of climate change on Small Island Developing States and supports students on courses that engage with sustainability, helping them develop their existing skills and knowledge to address the severe effects of climate change in the countries from which they come.
