Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships for Citizens of Developing Commonwealth Countries

The benefit of being a distant learner is more comprehensive than you, as an undergraduate or graduate student, can imagine. Not only you have the chance to divide your time between work, family, and study but you are also enjoying the learning benefits offered by an accredited and reliable online university. The learning opportunities as an online student are wide and some of them are accompanied by scholarships. Such case is represented by Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships.

Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships are offered for citizens of developing Commonwealth countries. A full list of countries can be found here: http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/developing-cw-countries/. This scholarship scheme was initiated by the UK Department for International Development with the purpose of contributing to the UK’s international development aims, backing up excellence in UK higher education.

The scholarship scheme supports distance learning Master’s degree courses offered in partnership with local providers in developing countries and courses offered directly by UK universities. The application process for 2017 is now closed; however it will open in March 2018. New info about will be revealed on this page http://cscuk.dfid.gov.uk/apply/distance-learning/info-candidates/.

2. The CSC welcomed formal proposals from shortlisted universities deciding which online courses to select and the number of scholarships allocated to each course.

3. The CSC selected candidates for the scholarship program from a list of shortlisted candidates nominated by each participating university.

Who was eligible to apply for this scholarship program scheme? Citizens of developing Commonwealth countries, refugees, or British protected persons permanently residents in a developing Commonwealth country.
