Description
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC) provides the UK government’s scholarship scheme led by international development objectives. It supports the co-creation of research, innovation, and solutions to enact sustainable development priorities across the Commonwealth and beyond.
If you are from a Commonwealth country and can’t afford to study in the UK without funding, then you could be the ideal candidate for a Commonwealth Scholarship.
Commonwealth scholarships have been running since 1960, and there are now seven different types of postgraduate scholarship/funding available.
