Agency addresses are listed in Appendix II of the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook . This scheme assists academically able students from developing Commonwealth countries who would benefit from higher education in Britain, to the developmental advantage of their home countries, but who for financial reasons are unable to study in the UK and are outside the scope of other British government support schemes. You should be of high academic calibre and should be intending to study subjects of developmental relevance. You must normally be under thirtyfive years old at the time your course is due to start and you must be able to speak English fluently at the time you apply. Successful candidates must return to their home country on completion of their awards.
Awards are for taught courses at postgraduate level.
Very exceptionally, awards for undergraduate study may be made available where the course of training satisfies the conditions of the scheme but is not available in your home country or at a nearby regional institution. Contact the participating British institution. These vary from year to year. These grants are for postgraduate students undertaking full-time study for a higher degree as registered research students at British universities. Selection of candidates is based solely on academic merit and research potential.
