About the organization

The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC) is a non-departmental public body established by an Act of Parliament in 1959 to administer the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan. Its founding ethos is to promote sustainable development and mutual understanding within the Commonwealth by offering talented individuals from low- and middle-income Commonwealth countries the opportunity to pursue postgraduate study in the UK. The CSC's Master's Scholarships enable candidates to undertake a full-time taught master's degree at a UK university, with a focus on subjects that align with the UK's international development priorities, such as health, education, engineering, and governance. The scheme is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and aims to equip scholars with the skills and knowledge to contribute to the development of their home countries.

Application guidance

Applicants should first identify a eligible master's course at a UK university that aligns with the CSC's development themes and confirm that the university is participating in the scheme. The application process typically involves submitting an online application through the CSC's Electronic Application System (EAS), including academic transcripts, references, and a development impact statement. It is crucial to demonstrate how the proposed study will benefit the applicant's home country and to articulate a clear plan for applying the knowledge upon return. Deadlines are strict, usually in the autumn for the following academic year, and candidates must also secure admission to their chosen UK university. Early preparation and careful attention to the eligibility criteria and guidance notes are essential.
