Good luck with your application! source: www.hope.ac.uk/prospective/international-scholarships/css2011 Information on 2012 Commonwealth Academic Fellowships for mid-career academics from developing countries to spend periods of up to six months at a UK academic institution. These fellowships are funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). In most instances, nominations for Commonwealth Academic Fellowships are made by specific developing country universities, which are responsible for advertising the fellowships amongst their staff. In the case of Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka, nominations are made by the University Grants Commission; in Pakistan, nominations are made by the Higher Education Commission. Each year, the CSC invites each nominating university/university body to forward a specific number of nominations. Each nominating university/university body is responsible for its own selection process, and in most cases they will set a closing date in the months preceding the CSC’s deadline for nominations (21 December 2011). Terms and conditions and eligibility The CSC would like to draw candidates’ particular attention to a change in the Commonwealth Academic Fellowships scheme this year. Since their inception, the main objective of these fellowships has been the career development of recipients, through the building of new skills and contacts. (Conducting research has never been a major aim, although, of course, where fellowships do lead to joint research and publications, this is most welcome.) The CSC believes that the core objectives of the scheme can normally be achieved within three months. As a result, from 2012, Commonwealth Academic Fellowships will be of three months’ duration, rather than six. If more than three months is requested, justification is required for the extra time. The CSC anticipates that this will also enable more high-quality candidates to be supported by the scheme.
How to apply All applications must be made through your nominating university/university body in your home country. You must check with them in the first instance for specific advice on how to make an application and for their own closing dates. The CSC cannot accept any applications direct from candidates. The CSC expects all candidates who are nominated for a Commonwealth Academic Fellowship to have completed an application form using our Electronic Application System (EAS). Full help on how to complete an application form using the EAS is provided in our guides, which should be read in full before making any attempt to use the EAS. The EAS will close to applicants on 7 December 2011 and no further applications can be made after that date.

Commonwealth Scholarships for students from the developing Commonwealth to study in the United Kingdom are funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). 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.
