The Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships 2022 are currently accepting applications.

The Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships are for applicants from least developed, low-income, and lower-middle-income Commonwealth nations who want to pursue a part-time Master’s degree via distance learning at UK institutions.

The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office provides funding for these scholarships.

High-quality postgraduate students who want to access training that isn’t available in their home countries, who want or need to stay in their home countries while they study, and who have the potential to improve their home countries’ development with the knowledge and leadership skills they gain are the intended beneficiaries.

These scholarships are available in six different CSC Development themes:

Developmental science and technology
Increasing the capacity and strength of health systems
Increasing world prosperity
Global peace, security, and governance are being bolstered.
Increasing crisis resilience and reaction
Opportunity, access, and inclusion
