About This Opportunity
The Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (with funding from FCDO) and UK universities, to support scholarships for students from low- and middle-income Commonwealth countries and territories who would not otherwise be able to study in the UK. The Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are offered on an annual basis for full-time postgraduate Masters study only. At the University of St Andrews, the eligible course is MSc Health Data Science. The scholarship provides comprehensive support including tuition fees, inward and homeward airfares, monthly stipend, arrival allowance, thesis grant and a study travel grant. This award is available for 1 year of postgraduate study and is designed to support students who would otherwise not have the financial means to pursue postgraduate education in the UK.
