About this opportunity
The Commonwealth Split-site Scholarships are funded by the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and designed to widen access to UK equipment and expertise for quality doctoral candidates from Commonwealth countries. These scholarships enable candidates from low and middle income countries, as classified by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), to conduct research at a UK university for 12 months as part of their doctoral studies in their home country. The scholarships are delivered through institutional or departmental links between the candidate's home university and a proposed UK university. The program aims to contribute to UK and Commonwealth higher education and research through collaboration and partnerships. The scholarships cover comprehensive support including tuition fees, inward and homeward airfares, monthly stipend at government rate, arrival allowance, and a study travel grant, with child allowance potentially available under certain circumstances.
