COMMONWEALTH SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME 2014

The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan is one of the largest and most prestigious scholarships schemes for international study in the world. Since it was established in 1959, almost 30,000 individuals have benefited nearly 24,000 of them have held awards funded by the United Kingdom, managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC), with 3,700 of them being Shared Scholars. This prospectus describes the Commonwealth Shared Scholarships offered by the CSC in 2014-2015. Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, offered in partnership with UK universities, are for developing country students who would not otherwise be able to undertake Masters level study in the UK. In 2014-2015, 69 UK universities are participating in the scheme by jointly funding the scholarships. The CSC extends its thanks to participating universities; while the scheme is managed by the CSC, its success depends critically on their support. Separate programmes and prospectuses exist for the other scholarships and fellowships offered by the CSC, including Commonwealth Scholarships for Masters and PhD study, Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships, Commonwealth Academic Fellowships, and Commonwealth Professional Fellowships.

Additional notes Academic Technology Approval Scheme for International Students (ATAS) In common with other governments around the world, the UK Government is working hard to stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. The ATAS is designed to ensure that people who are applying to study certain sensitive subjects in the UK do not have links to WMD programmes. Since 1 November 2007 non-EU/EEA (including Switzerland) nationals planning to undertake postgraduate study in the UK in certain science, engineering or technology disciplines are required to have an ATAS certificate before they can apply for a Visa or Entry Clearance (EC). Application is free and can be made online. Applicants should hear about the result of their application within 20 working days from the date the application is received by the issuing department. For further information on the ATAS, visit www.fco.gov.uk/atas Visas There has recently been a change to UK immigration rules and Commonwealth Scholars are now required to apply for a visa to come to the UK under Tier 4 of the new Immigration System. The UK host university will be the sponsor for your visa.
