Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan

The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan provides opportunities for Commonwealth students and academics to pursue advanced academic study at graduate level in other Commonwealth countries. Scholarships are intended for men and women, in equal measure, of high intellectual promise who may be expected to make a significant contribution to their own countries on their return from study abroad. Around 1000 students come to the UK each year under this scheme. Scholarships for undergraduate studies are available only in the most exceptional cases.

UCL - United World Colleges - Undergraduate International Outreach Bursaries

Deadline:28/02/2015

University College London (UCL) and United World Colleges (UWC) have agreed to collaborate in a scheme to enable graduates of a UWC, who are financially unable to study in the UK, to pursue full-time undergraduate studies at UCL. With this scheme UCL supports the aims of UWC to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Two bursaries are available annually for UWC-nominated students who have firmly accepted their UCL admissions offer. 

Applicants must:

• Be a final-year IB diploma student attending a United World College (or completed their studies in the preceding calendar year - candidates from Waterford Kamhlaba UWC only).
• Apply for admission through UCAS by January for a full-time undergraduate degree programme of study at UCL and firmly accept your UCL offer.
• Be assessed as paying overseas tuition fees; and
• Lack the financial means necessary to pursue undergraduate degree studies at UCL.

Each bursary will consist of full tuition fees and a maintenance allowance for the duration of the student’s programme of study, as well as international economy air travel to/from the UK at the beginning and end of the bursary-holder’s degree programme. The maintenance allowance will normally rise each year in line with inflation but at the absolute discretion of UCL. In addition, the bursary includes an allowance (on request and up to a specified maximum sum per bursary holder) to permit two members of the bursary-holder’s family to attend their graduation ceremony. Annual renewal of the bursary is subject to good academic progress by the student.
