Commonwealth Scholarships

Commonwealth Scholarships for International Students in Developing Countries

Commonwealth Scholarships in low and middle income countries.

The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) is a unique programme. Since its establishment in 1959, it has provided opportunities for over 30,000 citizens of all Commonwealth countries to study in other member countries.

Since the scholarships have traditionally been supported by host governments, the overwhelming majority have been hosted by developed Commonwealth countries.

Now, following the establishment of the CSFP endowment fund, a new strand of Commonwealth Scholarships located in low and middle income countries is available.

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

  • Kenya
  • Rwanda
  • Botswana
  • South Africa
  • Caribbean (Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago)
  • Ghana
  • Bangladesh
  • Pakistan

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