Commonwealth Scholarships for students from the developed Commonwealth to study in the United Kingdom in 2009 will, after all, be available, following a recent decision by the UK Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS). These awards will be co-funded by selected UK Universities and these are detailed below.
These Scholarships apply to candidates from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Cyprus, Malta, New Zealand, Singapore and the Bahamas. All applications should be made through a candidate's local Agency in their home country. Contact details for these are listed here (pdf)
Please note that nominations have now been received by the Commission for Scholarships in 2009 so it is not possible to make any further applications. Results will be communicated to the nominating Agency and to nominated candidates at the start of April.
Invitations for nominations for 2010 will be sent to Agencies by the end of July 2009 at which point the 2010 application form and prospectus will be made available on this Website and candidates will be able to apply through the nominating Agency in their home country
