Commonwealth Shared Scholarships 2025-2026

The Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are Master’s scholarships funded by the UK government for study in the United Kingdom. They cover approved airfare, full tuition fees, a living stipend, and additional allowances or grants as applicable, for scholars from eligible Commonwealth countries. The scholarships aim to support individuals with outstanding talent and potential who return to their home countries after the award.

Airfare, tuition, monthly stipend, allowances, thesis grant, travel grant, and dependent child allowances where applicable.

Applicants must be a citizen of or have refugee status in an eligible Commonwealth country, be permanently resident there, be available to start UK study by September 2025, hold a first degree of at least upper second-class (2:1) honours by then, and be unable to afford UK study without this scholarship.
