Application 

You can apply for more than one taught Master’s course and/or to more than one university through the Commonwealth Shared Scholarships Scheme, but you may only accept one offer of a Shared Scholarship. Basically, these scholarships do not cover undergraduate courses, PhD study, or any pre-sessional English language teaching, and are usually tenable for one year only.

You must make your application using the CSC’s online application system, in addition to any other application that you are required to complete by your chosen university. Furthermore, the CSC will not accept any applications that are not submitted via the online application system.
