Bill Gates Notes | March 10, 2022

Of all our foundation’s grants, this was my dad’s favorite

By Bill Gates | March 10, 2022

Every day I’m reminded of how my dad’s wisdom, generosity, and compassion live on in the many people he influenced and inspired around the world.

One of the most significant ways my dad’s spirit continues is through the Gates Cambridge Scholarship Program.

Each year, Gates Cambridge offers about 80 full-cost scholarships for students to pursue a full-time postgraduate degree in any subject available at the university.

The alumni of the program have gone on to remarkable careers, in fields ranging from public health to international relations, chemistry to information technology, and oceanography to neuroscience.

My dad was always very passionate about the power of learning, the importance of engaging people with diverse interests and giving back to those in need. Of all the grants he was involved in at our foundation, this one was always his favorite.

You can learn more about the Gates Cambridge Scholarship and why it meant so much to my dad on the Gates Notes.

As always, thanks so much for being an Insider.
