Dear all,

Kindly find attached information about the commonwealth scholarships. I would encourage final year students who wish to pursue post-graduate studies to consider applying for these new set scholarships alongside the older ones- more applications would necessarily mean more opportunities.

I do not have the mailing list for the entire 4th year class, so I would kindly request that you circulate this widely and immediately given the closing date for some funds is the 31st of this month.

Best wishes.

Dear alumnus

 

I am emailing to notify you of new opportunities for students to pursue Master’s degrees in a range of Commonwealth countries, and to ask you to promote these amongst your networks and contacts, especially students.

 

Students from Commonwealth countries can now pursue postgraduate study in a new range of destinations thanks to scholarships under the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan. Up to 15 scholarships are available during 2014-2015 for international students to study for Master’s degrees at universities in ten low and middle income Commonwealth countries.

 

These scholarships will complement the hundreds of Commonwealth Scholarships already offered each year by the governments of more established host countries such as New Zealand, India, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom (the largest funder of Commonwealth Scholarships), and is in line with a drive towards broadening opportunities for international scholarships throughout the Commonwealth.

 

The scholarships are funded by the expansion of the CSFP endowment fund, raised by the Association of Commonwealth Universities and Commonwealth Secretariat following the Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers in 2009. The fund has attracted donations from over 200 alumni of the Commonwealth Scholarship programme, and 13 Commonwealth governments. In the spirit of the fund, several of the host universities have also contributed by waiving or reducing their normal tuition fee levels.

 

Commonwealth Scholarships for Master’s level study are being offered in the following countries in 2014.

·          Bangladesh

·          Botswana

·          Caribbean (Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago)

·          Ghana

·          Kenya

·          Pakistan

·          Rwanda

·          South Africa

 

Each award covers:

·          Full tuition fees

·          Monthly/quarterly stipend (living allowance) set at local rates

·          Arrival allowance (usually) USD 500, to contribute to additional costs incurred in moving to your host country

·          One economy class return airfare between your home and host countries

 

Applicants should:

·          Be citizens of any Commonwealth country except the host country

·          Hold a first degree of upper second class Honours standard (or above) in a discipline relevant to that in which study is proposed

 

Closing dates range from 31 May to 31 July 2014. Further information on the scholarships, links to the host universities and application forms are available at www.acu.ac.uk/csfp-scholarships

 

 

Best wishes,
