You can apply for a Commonwealth Scholarship for the following levels of study:

You are requested to apply for a course of study at a UK university with which the CSC has a part funding agreement.

About the Scholarship
Each year, the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission invites each nominating agency, university or university body to forward a specific number of nominations for the commonwealth scholarship for developing countries. Each nominating agency/university/university body is responsible for its own selection process, and in most cases they will set a closing date in the months preceding the CSC’s deadline for nominations (17 December 2013).
There is a nominating agency for Commonwealth Scholarships in each Commonwealth country. In addition, universities and university bodies in a number of developing Commonwealth countries are invited to nominate candidates to the CSC.

Scholarship Type: Masters and PhD Scholarship for developing Countries

Duration of Scholarships: For the duration of the programme.
