COMMONWEALTH SHARED

SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME
2011

DFID
Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, set up by DFID in 1986, represent a unique
partnership between the United Kingdom government and UK Universities. To
date in excess of 2,500* students from developing Commonwealth countries have
been awarded Shared Scholarships. Without these awards they would not
otherwise have been able to benefit from UK higher education.

For 2011 the range of opportunities listed in the following pages is wide and will
provide recipients of the Shared Scholarships with the skills and knowledge to
assist in the development of their home countries. We are delighted that more than
50 UK universities have offered to support our scholarships by contributing the
stipend for the students from their own resources, or those which the university
has been able to generate from elsewhere. Indeed it is the mark of UK
Universities’ commitment that the scheme receives many more bids each year than
it has the resources to fulfil. This reflects the confidence of the Department for
International Development, which provides the government funding for the
scheme, that higher education and scholarships in particular have a critical role to
play in influencing the development of some of the world’s poorest countries. We
are pleased to see that this approach has been increasingly taken by other
international agencies.

Whilst the scheme is managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, its

success depends critically on the support of participating universities, the
Department for International Development and the students themselves. To all of
these, we extend our grateful thanks and express the hope that the 2011 intake will
be one of the most successful ever.

 SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME

1. GENERAL

Awards made under this scheme are jointly funded by the Department for
International Development (DFID), as part of the United Kingdom International
Development programme to developing countries, and participating institutions in
the UK. The scheme is administered by the Commonwealth Scholarship
Commission (CSC), whose secretariat is provided by the Association of
Commonwealth Universities, Woburn House, 20-24 Tavistock Square, London
WC1H 9HF.

2. AIMS

The aim of the Scheme is to assist students from developing Commonwealth

countries who are of excellent academic calibre but for financial reasons would
not otherwise be able to afford to study in the United Kingdom. The Scheme
allows them to benefit from postgraduate study at a University in the United
Kingdom which will help them to contribute toward the development of
their home countries.
.

3. LEVEL OF STUDY

Awards are for taught masters courses only. No awards will be made for
undergraduate or doctoral study.

4. SUBJECTS

Subjects must be related to the economic, social and technological development of

the student’s home country; see page 8 for a full list of eligible courses.

5. DURATION OF AWARDS

Awards are normally tenable for one-year taught postgraduate courses only.

3
6. ELIGIBILITY

6.1 Candidates are normally expected to hold a first degree at either first class
or upper second-class level. Sponsoring institutions must confirm that
candidates are sufficiently fluent in written and oral English to pursue their
proposed studies immediately, as no pre-course English Language Teaching
is available under these awards. Candidates who have already studied for
one year or more in a developed country or who possess sufficient resources
to self-fund, are not eligible for an award.

6.2 Candidates must certify in writing that they

i) are nationals of a Commonwealth developing country, and not at

present living or studying in a developed country;

ii) have not undertaken studies lasting one year or more in a developed
country;

iii) are not at present employed by a national Government department or

parastatal organisation;

iv) are themselves, or through their families, unable to pay to study in the
United Kingdom;

v) will return to their home country as soon as their award comes to an

end. The commission will only consider requests to extend leave to
remain in the UK post-award for those wishing to move from masters
to PhD study. Strict conditions will apply.

6.3 Candidates are advised that false declarations will cause at least DFID’s
share of the award to be terminated, even if the course of study has started.
In such circumstances, the candidate will be required to refund any
payments made by DFID in connection with the award.

4
7. COSTS

DFID and participating United Kingdom institutions will jointly meet the full
costs of an award holder’s study in the United Kingdom including air fares to and
from the United Kingdom. Maintenance allowance is paid by the scholar’s host
institution, at the level set by the UK Government: £1,044 per month for scholars
based in London and £844 per month for the rest of the UK. (July 2010 figures)

7.1 A grant of up to £225 to cover thesis (Master’s) costs is available; also

available is £200 for study travel. The cost of up to 10 Kilograms of excess
baggage (books only) is available for scholars returning home at the end of
their awards.

7.2 No additional allowances are paid for spouses or other dependants.

8. APPLICATION AND SELECTION

8.1 Although institutions will normally recruit direct, the availability of these
awards will be advertised through British High Commissions if the
institutions have indicated their wish to avail themselves of this service.

8.2 Applications should be made directly to the institutions at which candidates

wish to study. The sponsoring institutions will be the judges of academic
calibre and will forward their nominations to the Commonwealth
Scholarship Commission for its agreement. Institutions will normally
advise candidates of the result not later than July.

8.3 Candidates should note that although they may apply to more than one
institution, only one offer of award may be accepted.

SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME ADDITIONAL NOTES

Academic Technology Approval Scheme for International Students (ATAS)

In common with other Governments around the world, the British Government is
working hard to stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery.
The ATAS is designed to ensure that people who are applying to study certain
sensitive subjects in the UK do not have links to WMD programmes. Since 1
November 2007 non-EU/EEA (including Switzerland) nationals planning to
undertake postgraduate study in the UK in certain science, engineering or
technology disciplines are required to have an ATAS certificate before they can
apply for a Visa or Entry Clearance (EC).
Application is free and can be made online. Applicants should hear about the result
of their application within 20 working days from the date the application is received
by the issuing department.
For further information on the ATAS please go to www.fco.gov.uk/atas

Visas
There has recently been a change to UK Immigration Rules and Commonwealth
Scholars are now required to apply for a visa to come to the UK under Tier 4 of the
new Immigration System. The UK host university will be the sponsor for your visa.
