2012 Commonwealth Shared Scholarships Masters for Developing Commonwealth countries

The aim of the scheme is to assist students from developing Commonwealth countries who are of excellent academic calibre but for financial reasons would not  otherwise be able to afford to study in the UK. The scheme allows them to benefit from postgraduate study at a university in the  UK which will help them to contribute toward the development of their home countries. 

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are for taught Master’s courses only. All courses undertaken must be demonstrably relevant to the economic, social or technological development of the candidate’s home country. Awards are available at participating institutions in the UK only.
