Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme: The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan is one of the largest and most prestigious scholarships schemes for international study in the world.

Since it was established in 1959, almost 30,000 individuals have benefited – nearly 24,000 of them have held awards funded by the United Kingdom, managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC), with 3,700 of them being Shared Scholars.

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, offered in partnership with UK universities, are for developing country students who would not otherwise be able to undertake Master’s level study in the UK.

In 2019-2020, 69 UK universities are participating in the scheme by jointly funding the scholarships.
