Commonwealth Scholarships are offered to deserving students who have the potential to make a positive impact globally. It may be the most anticipated dream of every student who wishes to study in the United Kingdom but doesn’t have the resources to do so.

This dream can become a reality as the application for this scholarship is open! This guide will provide you with all the information regarding Commonwealth Scholarship. So, let’s get started!

What is Commonwealth Scholarship?

The Commonwealth Scholarships is aimed at students from any country that is a member of the Commonwealth who can’t afford to study in UK universities. The scheme helps support future innovators and leaders by providing them with an opportunity to study at renowned universities. 

As part of the UK’s ongoing commitment to the Commonwealth, around 800 students from developing and under-developing countries each year are given the chance to study for postgraduate degrees at UK universities. From the time of its commencement over 30,000 people have taken advantage of this scholarship. The scheme has since then constantly developed to adapt to the very different situation of the 56- nations of the Commonwealth today.

Commonwealth Scholarship Programs

There is a total of seven programs in three categories:

Category Program
For Low and Middle-Income Countries
  • Master’s Scholarship
  • Shared Master’s Scholarship
  • Distance Learning Master’s Scholarship
  • Spill-site PhD Scholarship
  • Professional Fellowship
For Least Developed Countries and Fragile States
  • PhD Scholarship
Open to any Participating High Income Commonwealth Country
  • High Income PhD Scholarship

Available Field of Study

Commonwealth Scholarship is offered under six development themes. There is no restriction on what you can study but CSC gives priority to disciplines that are more relevant to their development criteria.

  1. Science and technology for development
  2. Strengthening health systems and capacity
  3. Promoting global prosperity
  4. Strengthening global peace, security and governance
  5. Strengthening resilience and response to crises
  6. Access, inclusion and opportunity

Most scholarships offered by the Commonwealth are Fully Funded which means that not only it will cover your tuition fees but will also provide airfare to and from the UK and a living allowance to support you while you are studying there.
