title: EDUCATION: Gates Gives Cambridge a Rival to Rhodes.
abstract: Thanks to a new $210 million trust announced on 11 October by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Cambridge University is launching a new high-visibility scholars' program, which each year will fund at least 225 students from outside the United Kingdom. The university will select Gates Cambridge Scholars based on merit, not need, focusing on academic ability and leadership potential.
