How to apply for Commonwealth Shared Scholarships

You should apply to study an eligible Master’s course at a UK university that is participating in the Shared Scholarship scheme.

You must make your application using the CSC’s Electronic Application System (EAS).

Before applying, you must check with your UK university for their specific advice, admission requirements, and rules for applying. Some universities may require you to complete their own admissions application form as well, which may have a separate closing date. You must take the necessary steps to secure admission to your chosen course(s) at your preferred university/universities at the same time as applying for a Shared Scholarship.

You can apply for more than one course and/or to more than one university, but you may only accept one offer of a Shared Scholarship. The CSC will not accept any applications that are not submitted via the EAS to your UK university or applications directly from individuals.
