MAKE SURE YOU'VE READ THE INTRODUCTION THROUGHLY!
(i) British Government and British Council Award
Schemes
Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan
The Commonwealth Scholarships Commission in the UK, through the
Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan, offers Commonwealth
Scholarships to any overseas Commonwealth citizen wishing to study at
postgraduate level in the UK. Undergraduate awards are offered only where
a course is unavailable in the candidate's own country. The scholarship
pays for fares to and from the applicant's home country for the scholar (but
not for the spouse or dependants), approved fees, maintenance,
contributions towards the cost of books, apparatus and if necessary clothing.
Contributions towards approved travel within the country of study are also
given. A marriage and child allowance may be available. Scholarships are
normally available to candidates who have graduated from a first degree
within the last ten years. The commission also administers Commonwealth
Academic Staff Scholarships for research, postgraduate degrees and
fellowships. Candidates are nominated by local agencies in the
Commonwealth country concerned.
Applications: Contact the Commonwealth Scholarship Agency in your home
country. These are usually based at the Ministry of Education.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office Scholarships
British Chevening Scholarships
(Formerly known as the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Scholarships and Awards
Scheme - FCOSAS)
British Chevening Scholarships are funded by the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office. Scholarships may be for study in any subject field but
in countries which are recipients of UK bilateral aid, the developmental
relevance of the course is likely to be of primary importance.
Awards are given to those wishing to follow full-time postgraduate or second
degree courses or to pursue full-time research at or based in a UK institution
of higher education in the public sector. Preference is given to
postgraduates or those already established in a career. Awards are normally
made for formal courses of postgraduate study, e.g. a Master's degree, but
are also occasionally given for shorter, vocationally oriented courses, or for
research attachments, lasting between three and six months. Awards may
be given to cover all or part of the cost of the period of study.
Applications: Selection of candidates is carried out by British Embassies and
High Commissions in consultation with the local British Council
Representative. All applications must therefore be made through the British
Diplomatic Mission in the student's country of origin.
Country/Territory Support Scheme
This scheme is now only available to students from Hong Kong. Support is
available to those students following full-time first degree (or equivalent)
courses at a British university, polytechnic, college of advanced or further
