Commonwealth Shared Scholarship

About this opportunity

Robert Gordon University offers two Commonwealth Shared Scholarships in partnership with the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK. These scholarships are co-funded by the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and Robert Gordon University. The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission provides the UK government scholarship scheme led by international development objectives, operating within the framework of the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan. By attracting individuals with outstanding talent and identifiable potential from all backgrounds, the program supports them to become leaders and innovators on returning to their home countries. The scholarships combine sustainable development with the UK national interest and provide opportunities for international partnerships and collaboration. Recipients receive full funding for tuition fees, return airfare to the UK from their country of residence, a maintenance award, and additional allowances for one-year postgraduate study at Robert Gordon University.
