Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships

What it covers

Students from Commonwealth countries who wish to undertake 2 years Masters degree programmes in a low- or middle-income country, other than their own home country, can apply for the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS). Aimed at students who are committed to creating change in their communities, the scholarships provide a life-changing opportunity to experience a new country and culture, to broaden horizons, and to build a global network that will last a lifetime. Through cultural exchange and academic collaboration, Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars help bring about positive change and find solutions to shared challenges – both in their home countries and those that host them. The scholarship provides for fully-funded tuition fees and a stipend for living expenses, for the duration of the award. The scholarship also covers return economy flights to and from the host country, an arrival allowance, and research support grant. The research grant will only be provided on request, and subject to approval.
