Title: Directory of Commonwealth scholars and fellows, 1959-2009
Description: When Commonwealth education ministers, at their first ever conference in 1959, approved plans for a new scholarship programme between member states, they could not have imagined the impact of their decision. 50 years on, over 26,000 individuals have benefited from the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP). Many have gone on to be leaders in their chosen field. This Directory represents the most comprehensive record of these achievements. It contains some 3,700 career profiles of alumni, and the names, countries and years of over 25,000, from every corner of the Commonwealth. In addition to recording their achievements, the Directory aims to be a tool for further networking and collaboration, building on the extensive professional networks and communications systems already in place. It is intended to be used extensively by international organisations, governments and alumni themselves, to further collaboration, careers and the wider objectives of the Plan.
