Exciting news for aspiring scholars across the Commonwealth—applications are now being accepted for the 2025/2026 Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships. This prestigious opportunity is made possible by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK (CSC), which manages the UK’s government scholarship program focused on international development. These scholarships reflect the UK’s longstanding commitment to strengthening ties within the Commonwealth by empowering talented individuals who show exceptional potential to drive innovation and leadership in their communities upon completing their studies.

This scholarship offers a unique chance for individuals from eligible low and middle-income Commonwealth countries to pursue part-time Master’s programs at leading UK universities—while continuing to live and work in their home countries. It’s designed for those who are driven to make a difference but may not have the financial means to study without support. Candidates should be citizens of a qualifying Commonwealth nation, or hold refugee or British Protected Person status, and must reside permanently in a developing Commonwealth country. An upper second-class undergraduate degree is usually required, though applicants with a lower qualification may still be considered if they bring relevant experience to the table.

Successful applicants will receive full coverage of tuition fees, along with any necessary study grants. And for any periods of study that may take place in the UK, the scholarship also includes round-trip airfare, visa costs, and a living allowance. With this support, scholars can fully focus on their academic growth and professional development, ultimately contributing to sustainable progress back home while forming meaningful global partnerships along the way.
