CAMScot is a Registered Charity that exists with the singular aim to help more pupils from Scottish state secondary schools win places at the University of Cambridge.
Bringing together pupils, schools, current undergraduates and alumni, we provide on-line one-to-one mentoring and mock interviews to ensure the best possible support for promising prospective applicants. If you are an ambitious high-achiever planning to apply to Cambridge this year please register below.
Please also register below if you can join CAMScot as a volunteer to assist with mentoring and interview practice or as a teaching professional to introduce CAMScot in your school.
For school pupils
If you are a high achiever considering applying to Cambridge this October, register here to get help with the application process, including online mentoring and interview practice. Support is free but you will be required to name a sponsor – a school staff member or parent – to support your registration.
For potential mentors (undergraduates, recent graduates)
Register here if you are a current undergraduate or recent graduate of the University, and can help prospective applicants learn about Cambridge, navigate the application process and develop critical thinking for their subject. We shall contact you if and when there is an applicant in your subject area who would like support. All interaction is online and you will be under no obligations if proposals are inconvenient.
For teachers and school support professionals
Register here if you would like to help high-achieving young people in your school apply for Cambridge University. You will be kept informed of developments and assistance that CAMScot can offer. Please note that all pupil registrants require a parent or school sponsor.
For other Cambridge alumni
If you are an alumnus/a of Cambridge and can support CAMScot, please register here. You will receive information on our progress and invitations to help, particularly in publicising the initiative and in online interview coaching and mentoring.
If you have any questions relating to registration or any other issue please contact Phil Riddle at support@camscot.org.
