Details of University College London Commonwealth Scholarship

The Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme is a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission and UK universities to support students from developing Commonwealth countries.

The aim of the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme (CSSS) is to assist students from developing Commonwealth countries who are of excellent academic calibre but for financial reasons would not otherwise be able to afford to study in the United Kingdom.

The scheme allows them to benefit from postgraduate study at a university in the United Kingdom, which will help them to contribute to the development of their home countries.

UCL Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Benefits

  • The UCL Commonwealth Shared Scholarship award will cover tuition fees, a maintenance allowance, economy air travel to and from the UK at the beginning and end of the scholar’s degree programme plus additional discretionary allowances. 
  • Awards are normally tenable for one year only.
