Yes you can! The scholarship that you can get depends on several factors. Such as your nationality, affiliation and the college you are applying to. If you dont have a UK or EU nationality then you cant get a scholarship from the university, but you can get scholarship from private organizations that administers the scholarship together with the university and the ones that acts out independently.

You dont need to be super-rich in order to study at Oxbridge, nor do you need to be super-intelligent. Obviously if you want to apply for a private scholarship, you have to be the latter..But remember that many countries have their own funds to support students wishing to study abroad with low-interest loans and scholarship. US colleges in the Ivy have a much more generous approach in terms of funding however..

Thankyou people,I will work hard since it's the only door towards accomplishment!
Well said my friend. With spirit like that, you might make it.

Anyways, in order to get admission in Cambridge through AS/A levels, the basic requirement is A* AA. 3 subjects at the very least and at least 1 A*. Most students take 4 or 5 subjects thinking maybe it'll increase their chances for admission in Cambridge. However, while more achievements forms a quite admirable portfolio, a student taking 5 subjects does not have an advantage over one taking 4 subjects. A student taking 4 subjects only has slight better chances than the one with 3 (because a huge number of students take 3 subs).
These are just the basic requirements.
The scholarship requirements have been discussed by CNA755.
Having said that, money is in fact an issue if you aren't a resident of UK. Overseas students have to pay a lot even if they have attained a local scholarship.
