Commonwealth Graduate Scholarships 2021 for International Students:
The Commonwealth organization is giving international students the opportunity to further their education oversees. This fully-funded scholarship is available to international students of commonwealth-member-countries to pursue a Master’s or PhD degree at top universities in the UK. There are a wide range of programs or courses eligible for this scholarship.
To date, over 27,800 people have taken up Commonwealth Scholarships since the first group of 175 Scholars arrived in the UK in 1960. During those six decades, the scheme has constantly developed, adapting to the very different world of a 53-nation Commonwealth of 2019.
Commonwealth Scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to gain the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development, and are offered to citizens from low-and-middle-income Commonwealth countries. Scholarships are funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), with the aim of contributing to the UK’s international development aims and wider overseas interests, supporting excellence in UK higher education, and sustaining the principles of the Commonwealth.
