Applicants from any country other than the United Kingdom are eligible. Approximately 100 new Gates scholars are elected each year, with about 230 Gates scholars studying at Cambridge at any one time: about 100 of these are to be from the United States.
The scholarships are similar to Oxford's Rhodes Scholarships, although the Gates scholarships are much younger.
One of the Gates Scholars' activities is to self-elect a committee called the "Gates Scholars' Council" to oversee the social networking of the Gates Scholars, while working in conjunction with the Gates Scholarship Trustees and Bill Gates Sr to promote scholarship aims. Past Chairs of the Gates Scholars' Council include Sean Bennett, Jennifer Gibson, and Moncef Tanfour.

Gates Scholars are likely to gain privilege as a result of their studies at Cambridge.
The average Gates scholar is 25 years of age, with the oldest among them being 38 and the youngest 21.
The Gates Cambridge Scholarship website, the Graduate Study Prospectus, the Undergraduate Prospectus, the CUSU Alternative Prospectus (primarily for undergraduates) and the Graduate Union Alternative Prospectus offer good sources of information on colleges and courses of study.
