Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships provide the opportunity for individuals to study for a UK Master’s degree while living and working in their home country.
Commonwealth Scholarship 2022 is now available for International Students from Developing Countries for their online Masters’s Degree Programs.
Scholarship Description
Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships are for candidates from least developed and lower middle-income Commonwealth countries, for part-time Master’s study by distance learning on selected courses offered by UK universities.
Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships provide the opportunity for individuals to study for a UK Master’s degree while living and working in their home country. The scheme was established in 2002, as a direct response to the measures taken by its funder, the UK Department for International Development (DFID), to explore new methods of delivery as part of the drive for poverty reduction. To date, nearly 1,000 Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships have been awarded.
