      Commonwealth Scholarships

      • Date 30/09/2021

      Commonwealth Scholarships are given to talented individuals with the potential to make a positive impact on the global stage.

      As part of the UK’s ongoing commitment to the Commonwealth, each year around 800 students are given the chance to undertake postgraduate degrees with UK universities.

      If you are from a Commonwealth country and believe you could make a difference to the world but you can’t afford to fund your UK studies on your own, then you could be the ideal candidate for a Commonwealth Scholarship.

      What is the Commonwealth Scholarship?

      The Commonwealth Scholarship scheme is aimed at students from across the Commonwealth who would not otherwise be able to afford to study in the UK. By funding postgraduate studies in a range of different study formats, the scheme helps to support future innovators and leaders.

      This historic award is the UK’s primary scholarship scheme focused on supporting British international development goals. It is designed to attract outstanding talent to UK universities whilst also supporting sustainable development overseas.

      Who can apply?

      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 British protected person.

      You also 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 master’s degree too.

      Finally, you must be unable to afford to study in the UK without the scholarship.

      The eligibility criteria for each type of scholarship and fellowship vary. More information is available on the CSC website .

      What types of awards are available?

      The Commonwealth Scholarships Commission offers:

      • Commonwealth PhD Scholarships 
      • Commonwealth Split-site Scholarships 
      • Commonwealth Master’s Scholarships 
      • Commonwealth Shared Scholarships    
      • Commonwealth Distance learning Scholarships 
      • Commonwealth PhD Scholarships 
      • Commonwealth Medical Fellowships 
      • Commonwealth Professional Fellowships 

      CSC Development Themes:

      All Commonwealth Scholarships which are funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are offered under six CSC development themes .

      • Science and technology for development
      • Strengthening health systems and capacity
      • Promoting global prosperity
      • Strengthening global peace, security and governance
      • Strengthening resilience and response to crises
      • Access, inclusion and opportunity.

      There is no restriction on what you can study but the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission gives priority to applicants whose studies are most relevant to their development criteria.

      Apply now for Commonwealth PHD and Master’s Scholarships!

      Applications are open for Commonwealth PHD and Master’s Scholarships for the academic year 2022-23. Applications will be closed on 1 November 2021. For full details, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, visit the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission’swebsite.
