Commonwealth Masters Scholarships

About this opportunity

Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Commonwealth Master's Scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to gain the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development, and are aimed at those who could not otherwise afford to study in the UK. The scholarship covers comprehensive support including tuition fees, inward and homeward airfares, visa costs and a living allowance for one year of postgraduate taught study. This opportunity is available to Commonwealth citizens, refugees, or British protected persons who are permanently resident in an eligible Commonwealth country and wish to pursue a master's degree at the University of St Andrews. Applications must be submitted through the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission's online application system and through a nominating agency in the applicant's home country.
