Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme


http://www.cscuk.org.uk/apply/sharedschol.asp



The Shared Scholarship Scheme is a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (with funding from DFID), and UK universities, to support scholarships for students from developing Commonwealth countries who would not otherwise be able to study in the United Kingdom.

Information for UK Universities

UK Universities were invited to bid to joint-fund Shared Scholarships with the Commission in 2011/12. Invitations were sent to all Vice Chancellors and existing CSS contacts. The closing date for applications was the 11 June 2010. Information on future bidding rounds will be posted when available.



Information for Prospective Scholars for 2011

How does the Scheme work?

Awards are for taught postgraduate courses only. All courses undertaken must be demonstrably relevant to the economic, social or technological development of the candidate's home country.

Awards are only available at participating institutions in the UK. The booklet giving details of the UK institutions offering Scholarships joint-funded with the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in 2011 is available below for download or can be obtained in print copy from the Scheme Administrators (see below).

Please house does anyone know if it is possible to apply for a course outside the ones mentioned in the scheme: can I apply for a course that a school did include in its list?
