Commonwealth Master's Scholarships
About This Opportunity
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC) provides the UK government scholarship scheme led by international development objectives. 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. These scholarships are for candidates from eligible low and middle income Commonwealth countries, to undertake full-time taught Master's study at a UK university. By attracting individuals with outstanding talent and identifiable potential from all backgrounds and supporting them to become leaders and innovators on returning to their home countries, the CSC's work combines sustainable development with the UK national interest and provides opportunities for international partnerships and collaboration. The scholarships are offered under the six CSC development themes and include full tuition coverage, airfare, monthly stipend, and additional support for living expenses.
