You should also be a permanent resident of an eligible Commonwealth country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you need to be ready to start your studies in the UK by September 2025. By that time, you should have a first degree with at least an upper second-class (2:1) honours or a lower second-class degree along with a relevant postgraduate qualification, like a Master\u2019s degree. You must also show that you can\u2019t afford to study in the UK without this scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, the CSC does not fund a second Master\u2019s degree, so if you are applying for one, you must explain why you want to pursue this study. Lastly, you should demonstrate that you cannot afford to study in the UK without this scholarship and provide all the necessary documents in the required format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_eligible_countries_for_Commonwealth_Scholarships\"><\/span><strong>List of&nbsp; eligible countries for Commonwealth Scholarships<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for the eligible countries for the Commonwealth Scholarship?&nbsp;Please note that only candidates from the countries listed below can apply for Commonwealth Master\u2019s Scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a5331a9e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bangladesh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Belize<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Botswana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cameroon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dominica<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eswatini<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fiji<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gabon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ghana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grenada<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guyana<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>India<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jamaica<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kenya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kiribati<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lesotho<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malawi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malaysia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maldives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mauritius<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Montserrat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mozambique<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Namibia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nauru<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nigeria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pakistan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Papua New Guinea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rwanda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saint Helena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saint Lucia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saint Vincent and The Grenadines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Samoa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sierra Leone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solomon Islands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Africa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sri Lanka<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tanzania<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Gambia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Togo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tonga<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuvalu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uganda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vanuatu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zambia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_is_the_Commonwealth_Scholarship\"><\/span><strong>How much is the Commonwealth Scholarship?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Commonwealth Scholarship usually covers the full tuition fees of international students.&nbsp;A monthly living allowance (stipend) of \u00a31,378 is provided, or \u00a31,690 per month for those studying at universities in the London area (current rates).
