Applications are now open for the 2025/2026 Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS), offering a remarkable chance to pursue a two-year Master’s degree in a low- or middle-income Commonwealth nation. This prestigious program is designed for individuals passionate about making a difference in their communities and provides an unparalleled opportunity to experience new cultures, expand perspectives, and develop lifelong connections across the globe.

Through this scholarship, participants engage in cultural exchange and academic collaboration, becoming agents of positive change in both their home countries and their host nations. As active members of the Commonwealth network, scholars contribute to addressing shared global challenges and play a vital role in shaping the future of the Commonwealth community.

To be eligible, applicants must hold citizenship or refugee status in a Commonwealth country. The program requires candidates to apply to study in a nation other than their home country or country of citizenship. Refugees should apply as citizens of the country granting them refugee status. While there is no maximum age limit, candidates must hold at least a second-class upper division degree (or equivalent) at the undergraduate level to qualify.

The scholarship package includes fully covered tuition fees, a living allowance for the duration of the program, and economy-class return airfare to the host country. Additionally, recipients receive a one-time allowance upon arrival, and there is an option to request a Research Support Grant, subject to approval.

This life-changing opportunity enables scholars to gain advanced knowledge, make a meaningful impact, and create enduring connections that span continents.
