All applications for Commonwealth Scholarships or Fellowships should be made via our Electronic Application System (EAS).
These pages contain information for:
Applicants
Citizens of Commonwealth countries who wish to apply for Commonwealth Scholarships or Fellowships in the UK
Nominating agencies
Organisations recommending one or more applicants for Commonwealth Scholarships or Fellowships in the UK. A nominating agency may be:
- a national organisation, such as a Ministry of Education or a University Grants Commission
- a Commonwealth university
- a UK-based organisation
- a department of a UK organisation (e.g. the neurology department of a hospital trust)
- a UK university
- a department of a UK university
Nominating agencies may not necessarily recommend applicants directly to the CSC – they may do so via a national nominating agency (e.g. when a Commonwealth university recommends applicants to a University Grants Commission, which then decides which applicants to nominate to the CSC)
Agency advisers
Individuals who are appointed to comment on the quality of one or more application and who give advice to a nominating agency
Applicants’ referees
Individuals who comment on the suitability of one or more applicants to undertake study in the UK
Potential supervisors
Academics at UK universities who might supervise the proposed PhD study of one or more applicants
