About this opportunity
The Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme is a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (with funding from the Department for International Development), and UK universities. It aims to support scholarships for students from developing Commonwealth countries who would not otherwise be able to study in the United Kingdom. The scholarship is available for MA Disability Studies and MSc Public Health courses only at Liverpool Hope University. The scholarship covers the full cost of postgraduate tuition fees, return flights to and from the UK, and a monthly allowance for living costs. Recipients must be citizens or refugees from eligible Commonwealth countries, hold strong academic qualifications (at least upper second class honours degree or lower second class with Master's degree), and demonstrate financial need. Applicants must return to their home country within one month of completing their studies.
