About Commonwealth Shared

Scholarships

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are offered by the

CSC in partnership with UK universities. These
scholarships are intended for students from developing
countries who would not otherwise be able to afford to
undertake Masters level study in the UK, to gain skills and
knowledge which will allow them to contribute to the
development of their home countries. In 2015-2016, over
70 UK universities are jointly funding Shared Scholarships
with the CSC. The CSC extends its thanks to these host
universities; while the scheme is managed by the CSC, its
success depends critically on their support.

How can I apply?

All applications must be made through your host UK

university. You must check with them in the first instance
for specific advice on how to make an application and for
their own closing date.

All Commonwealth Shared Scholarship candidates must

be selected and put forward to the CSC by their host UK
university, and must submit their application to the CSC
using our Electronic Application System (EAS).

Candidates must apply for a Commonwealth Shared

Scholarship using one of two methods, as instructed by
the university:
1. Via university: Applying to the university in the first
instance using the universitys own application form. If
selected, candidates will then be asked to submit an
application to the CSC using the EAS. Any applications
made via the EAS only and not directly to the university
first will not be considered.
2. EAS only: Applying to both the university and the CSC
at the same time using the EAS.

Each university has its own closing date for applications. Any
applications received after this date will be deemed ineligible.

The table on pages 5-6 indicates the method of

application and closing date for each university.

Candidates may apply to more than one university, but

only one offer of a Shared Scholarship may be accepted.

The EAS will close to applicants on 16 April 2015 and no

further applications can be submitted after that date.
Candidates should note that most university closing dates
fall before 16 April and you must submit your application
by the date advised by the university to which you are
applying.

The selection process

Candidates are recruited and selected by UK host universities

in the first instance. Selection criteria include: the academic
merit of the candidate, as well as the likely impact of their
work on the development of their home country.

Host UK universities must forward details of their selected

candidates to the CSC by 30 April 2015. Universities will
inform candidates of their results by July 2015.

General conditions of award

Applicants should be aware of the following general conditions:

The CSC reserves the right to publish the names of

candidates selected for awards on the CSC website.
By applying for an award, the candidate gives consent
for such publication in the event that his/her application
is successful.
3

Candidates will be notified of their provisional selection

for a Shared Scholarship by their host university, after
the CSC has checked that they meet the eligibility
requirements of the scheme.
A formal confirmation of the award will be issued when
all conditions set by the host UK university have been
met and when all documentation issued by the CSC
has been returned.
The CSC requires a medical report to be completed
and submitted before an award can be confirmed.
Scholars are expected to take up the award from the
date stated by the CSC when the award is confirmed.
Candidates are required to sign a declaration confirming
that they are nationals of a Commonwealth developing
country, and not at present living or studying in a
developed country; have not undertaken studies lasting
one year or more in a developed country; are
themselves, or through their families, unable to pay to
study in the United Kingdom; and will return to their
home country as soon as their award comes to an end.
Any false declarations will cause at least the CSCs
share of the award to be terminated, even if the course
of study has started. In such circumstances, the
candidate will be required to refund any payments
made by the CSC in connection with the award.
A Commonwealth Shared Scholarship covers fees,
fares and personal maintenance. Similar awards may
not be held concurrently.
Scholars are expected to reside in the UK throughout
their award, and to seek prior approval for any
proposed visits abroad.
Scholars may not undertake paid employment during
their award without prior consent.
The CSC will only consider requests to extend leave to
remain in the UK after the end of a Scholarship for
those wishing to move from Masters to PhD study.
Strict conditions apply.
The CSC is therefore be unable to provide any letter
of support which might be required by a Scholar to
stay on to work or undertake postdoctoral study in
the UK.
All terms and conditions of award are subject to UK
local law and practices, and are subject to change by
the CSC.
All regulations concerning immigration and visas are
set by the UK immigration authority, and are subject to
change. The CSC has no control over these.
Candidates from Commonwealth countries which
require a Tier 4 visa to come to the UK for study may
be required to take an approved English language test
and/or be screened for tuberculosis in order to obtain
their visa. The regulations on this could change at any
point. Candidates should check the UK Visas and
Immigration website at www.gov.uk/browse/visasimmigration/study-visas for updates.
Candidates studying certain subjects may need to
apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme
(ATAS) certificate before applying for a UK visa. UK
host universities will advise candidates who require an
ATAS certificate on how to apply. For more information
and to check which courses require clearance, visit
www.gov.uk/academic-technology-approval-scheme
