Commomwealth Scholarship at Bishop Grosseteste University 2023/24

The Department for International Development provides financing for the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme, which is a collaborative effort between UK institutions and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission. Its goal is to provide financial aid to students from developing Commonwealth nations who would not otherwise be able to attend university in the UK.

Eligibility for Commonwealth Scholarship at Bishop Grosseteste University:

• The candidate must be a British Protected Person, a citizen of one of the qualifying Commonwealth nations, or have been given refugee status by one of those nations.
