Please note that this page gives information on how to apply through a national nominating agency. However, candidates from developing Commonwealth countries can in some cases also apply for a Commonwealth Scholarship through certain developing country universities. For a list of universities who are invited to nominate for Scholarships, see Applying through universities in developing countries There is a nominating agency for Commonwealth Scholarships in each Commonwealth country. Each year, the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission writes to each agency asking for a specific number of nominations to be sent to it by December 31st. Each agency is responsible for its own selection process, and in most cases will set a deadline date in the months preceding this. All applications should be made through a candidate’s local Agency in their home country and you are advised to check with them before submitting an application to them in case they have eligibility criteria additional to the Commission’s own criteria or any specific advice on how to make an application. Contact details for these Agencies in the developing Commonwealth are listed here(PDF 115 KB) Approximately 200-230 scholarships are awarded each year. Each year, the Commission seeks about three times more nominations than it has places available; therefore, candidates who are nominated are not certain to get a scholarship. There are no quotas for selections for any individual country. Applications may be for study at Masters or doctoral level, and are tenable at any UK university. Candidates may also apply for Split-site doctoral awards, in which the Commission supports one year’s study in the United Kingdom as part of a doctorate being taken in the home country. All subject areas are eligible, although the Commission selection criteria do give priority to those applications that demonstrate strong relevance to development. Candidates are in competition with those nominated by developing country universities and the same standards will be applied to applications through both procedures.

Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2010, and candidates will be notified of their selection in April. The fellows will join a group of remarkable scholars who will be beginning the second year of their fellowships. Together, the Environmental Fellows at Harvard will form a community of researchers with diverse backgrounds united by intellectual curiosity, top-quality scholarship, and a drive to understand some of the most important environmental challenges facing society. Purpose: The Harvard University Center for the Environment created the Environmental Fellows program to enable recent doctorate recipients to use and expand Harvard’s extraordinary resources to tackle complex environmental problems. The Environmental Fellows will work for two years with Harvard faculty members in any school or department to create new knowledge while also strengthening connections across the University’s academic disciplines. Requirements: Candidates for 2010 Environmental Fellowships should have received their terminal degree between May 2006 and August 2010. (Fellows must have completed all requirements of their degree before starting work in September 2010.) Candidates with a doctorate or equivalent in any field are eligible, and they may propose research projects in any discipline. Applicants without a Ph.D. may apply if they have studied in fields where the Ph.D. is not the typical terminal degree. All successful candidates will be able to demonstrate experience performing scholarly research. Each candidate must secure a commitment from one or more Harvard faculty members to serve as a mentor and to provide office or lab space for the two-year fellowship. Harvard is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The Center strongly encourages women and minorities to apply. Candidates may have received their degrees at any university in the world. Foreign nationals are eligible for fellowships, though study at Harvard generally requires proficiency in English. Candidates who received terminal degrees from Harvard, and post-docs currently working at Harvard are eligible for the fellowship provided their research and host arrangements take them in new directions and forge new connections within the University. Harvard candidates should not propose to continue to work with the same professors or lab groups with whom they are currently associated. No candidate should propose to work extensively with his or her thesis advisor. Successful candidates should be prepared to commit to work at Harvard for the full two years of the fellowship. The award: The fellowship will provide an annual stipend of $54,000 plus health insurance, a $2,500 allowance for travel and professional expenses, and other employee benefits. The Harvard University Center for the Environment awarded five fellowships in 2009, and expects to award approximately five fellowships per year thereafter. The Center will organize a co-curricular program to ensure that the fellows get to know each other and each other’s work. All fellows will attend biweekly dinners with their colleagues, faculty members, and guests. Selection criteria: Applicant’s prior academic and professional success and his or her potential contribution to scholarship or practice Project significance: the potential impact of the research project on scholarship at Harvard and on environmental problems Diversity: The selection committee will select a group of fellows in 2010 who will complement those selected the previous year, creating a group of approximately 10 men and women with diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds and a diverse set of academic interests and skills. The ideal group would include fellows working with host faculty members at every one of Harvard’s professional schools and many of the departments overseen by the GraduateSchool of Arts and Sciences. Recipients-and hosts-may include people with degrees in the sciences, economics, law, government, public policy, public health, medicine, design, and the full array of humanities. Their research topics will be equally varied. Interdisciplinary research projects are encouraged, although this is not a requirement for the fellowship. Candidates with interests in a single discipline are encouraged to apply. Host’s commitment: the host faculty member’s enthusiasm for the proposed project and fellow, the host’s ability to mentor the fellow, and his or her ability to provide office space and a productive work environment. Finding a Host: Potential candidates should start early to identify and establish a relationship with a Harvard faculty member to host his or her research. The host will be a mentor to the fellow and will provide office space and basic administrative support. In agreeing to be a host, the faculty member is making a significant commitment. Successful candidates will be enthusiastically recommended by their proposed host. Each applicant’s host must submit a letter of support (maximum of two pages) to the selection committee describing in detail the level of commitment to the research and the candidate. In the previous round of applications, many Harvard faculty members were approached by many would-be applicants. Some of those faculty members conducted their own selection process to find the one or two applicants they would recommend to the selection committee; other faculty members agreed to be identified as a host on several applications and subsequently provided the selection committee with recommendations comparing the candidates. Some people who started applications were unable to find a host and thus could not complete their applications. Applicants unfamiliar with Harvard faculty members will find many of them listed on the Center’s web pages organized both by academic areas (economics, engineering) and by research topics (climate, human health). Most faculty members have their own web pages which will provide much more detailed information about publications and interests and which may be accessed through the main Harvard website. Applicants are encouraged to use the Center’s faculty list as a starting point only. Hundreds of faculty members who would be excellent hosts are not currently members of the Center. Any faculty member from any discipline may serve as a host, regardless of whether the host has had prior experience with environmental research or the Center. The only faculty members not eligible to host a fellow in the 2010 group are those who are hosting fellows in the 2009 group: Professors Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Peter K. Bol, Sheila Jasanoff, Ariel Pakes, and Shriram Ramanathan. The award: The fellowship will provide an annual stipend of $54,000 plus health insurance, a $2,500 allowance for travel and professional expenses, and other employee benefits. Environmental Fellows will begin work in September 2010. Schedule: Applications and all letters of reference must be received by the Center for the Environment by 5 pm Eastern Standard Time, January 15, 2010. The Center will announce the awards in March 2010. Harvard University is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
