Commonwealth Shared Scholarships at Cranfield University

Cranfield University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships fund master's study at Cranfield for students from developing Commonwealth countries who could not otherwise study in the UK. They are jointly supported by Cranfield University and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC).

The scheme aims to train skilled professionals and academics from Least Developed and middle-income countries (including fragile and conflict-affected states) who can contribute to the development of their home countries. Awards cover selected full-time taught master's courses, not PhD study or pre-sessional English.

The scholarship covers tuition fees, travel and living costs.
