Applications Open for Commonwealth Scholarship

The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC) is now inviting nominations from Montserrat for Commonwealth Master's Scholarships for the 2024/2025 Academic Year.

The Commonwealth Scholarship programme is aimed at students from across the Commonwealth who would not otherwise be able to afford to study in the UK. The scheme supports future leaders and innovators and is designed to attract outstanding talent to UK universities, while supporting sustainable development overseas.

Persons who wish to apply for a Commonwealth Scholarship must be a citizen or permanent resident of a Commonwealth Country and have an undergraduate honours degree of at least upper second class.

All Commonwealth scholarships funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) are offered under six development themes.

These are science and technology for development, strengthening health systems and capacity, promoting global prosperity, strengthening global peace, security, and governance, strengthening resilience and response to crisis and access, inclusion, and opportunity.
