Scholarship details
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC) provides the UK government’s scholarship scheme led by international development objectives. It supports the co-creation of research, innovation, and solutions to enact sustainable development priorities across the Commonwealth and beyond.
If you are from a Commonwealth country and can’t afford to study in the UK without funding, then you could be the ideal candidate for a Commonwealth Scholarship.
Commonwealth scholarships have been running since 1960, and there are now seven different types of postgraduate scholarship/funding available.
These scholarships are designed to actively support candidates of outstanding ability, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, based in low and middle income countries.
To apply for a Commonwealth Scholarship, you must be a citizen or permanent resident of a Commonwealth country. You will still be eligible if you are a refugee or a British-protected person.
You will need to have an undergraduate honours degree of at least upper second class (2:1). If you wish to study a PhD, you will need an appropriate masters degree too.
There are seven different types of postgraduate commonwealth scholarships, each with different eligibility criteria. To find out if you're eligible, you will need to check the criteria for each scholarship.
To find out how to apply for these scholarships, please visit the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission's website.
