===Gates Cambridge Scholarships===
In October 2000, William Gates established the [[Gates Cambridge Scholarships]] which allow students and scholars from the U.S. and around the world to study at [[Cambridge University]], one of the top universities in the world. The Gates Cambridge Scholarship has often been compared to the [[Rhodes Scholarship]], given its similarly international scope and substantial endowment. In 2000, the Gates Foundation endowed the scholarship trust with $210 million to help outstanding graduate students outside of the [[United Kingdom]] study at the [[University of Cambridge]].<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.gatescambridge.org/about |title=About |date=October 20, 2014 |work=Gates Cambridge |access-date=January 4, 2018 |language=en |archive-date=January 5, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180105011716/https://www.gatescambridge.org/about |url-status=live }}</ref> The Gates Foundation has continued to contribute funds to expand the scholarship, making it one of the largest and best-endowed scholarships in the world. The Gates Cambridge Scholarship accepts less than 0.3% of applicants and remains extremely competitive. Each year, approximately 100 new graduate students from around the world receive funding to study at Cambridge.
