Higher Education Scholarships to the U.K. for Refugees

Commonwealth Scholarships for Master’s and PhD study in the UK are normally offered for skilled and qualified professionals and academics who are a citizen and permanently resident in a developing Commonwealth country, but in this special scholarship accepted refugees are also eligilible and welcome to apply, if they otherwise would not have been able to study in the UK,  and who have the potential to enhance the development of their home countries with the knowledge and leadership skills they acquire.

Each participating UK university will conduct its own recruitment process to select a specified number of candidates for Shared Scholarships. Universities must put forward their selected candidates to the CSC by 26 April 2017. The CSC will then confirm that these candidates meet the eligibility criteria for this scheme. Universities will inform candidates of their results by July 2017.
