Former Shared Scholars’ views

Each year, the CSC conducts an anonymous survey of Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows. The following are recent quotes about Commonwealth Shared Scholarships.

‘The course was a launching pad for my academic career and it did exactly that. I hope I can use my skills to turn around the education sector in my country. The scheme has definitely chipped into the forgotten area of professional/personal development which most African governments have ignored.’
