Deadline: January 10, 2022
Applications are now open for the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS) – a unique opportunity to study a two-year Master’s degree in a low or middle-income Commonwealth country.
Aimed at students who are committed to creating change in their communities, the scholarships are a life-changing opportunity to experience a new country and culture, to broaden horizons, and to build a global network that will last a lifetime.
Through cultural exchange and academic collaboration, Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars help bring about positive change and find solutions to the shared challenges we face.
Award allowances include:
- Fully-funded tuition fees.
- Living expenses (stipend) for duration of award.
- Return economy flight.
- One-off arrival allowance.
- Research support grant (on request).
Eligibility:
- Citizens (or those who hold refugee status) in a Commonwealth country are welcome to apply.
- You must have already completed your degree and have graduated with an equivalent of a 2:1 at the time of application.
- Applicants cannot apply for an award in their home country/country of citizenship as this is an international programme. If you are attempting to apply for a QECS in a university in your home country you will not find your country in the drop down and should consider applying for an award in another country.
- As part of the application process you will be asked to provide a copy of your final transcript and degree certificate.
How to apply
Before submitting an application, please:
- Review the available courses and entry requirements below – in addition to the application guidance.
