We look forward to welcoming your son or daughter to Christ's College. If you have not already done so, you might find it helpful to look at the University webpages Student Fees and Finance.
We recommend that, if there is any possibility that your son or daughter may be eligible for a Cambridge bursary, he or she should apply to Student Finance (or other relevant body). The financial assessment will be used to determine the amount of bursary your son or daughter may receive. It is not possible to apply for a Cambridge bursary without having made an application to Student Finance.
If your son/daughter does not wish to take out a student loan, he/she must complete and return this form so that the College may be satisfied that he/she is an "eligible" student. In this case, it is not necessary to apply to Student Finance and the College Fees will be paid on his or her behalf.
