Why this is on your page

Requirements
What it asks for.
We hold 2 of 2. Where we hold nothing it says so rather than leaving a blank.
An undergraduate degree
Prior qualification · Required
Required. An undergraduate degree is stated as necessary.
Evidence that you could not otherwise fund the study
Evidence of funds · Required
Required. Evidence that you could not otherwise fund the study is stated as necessary.
Cost and funding
What it might cost.
Cost
We do not hold cost information for this. Assume nothing until you have read the provider’s fees page.
We carry no fee figures anywhere on this site. A number here would be wrong across years and currencies before you read it, and it is the number a family decides on.
What this award is
Awarded on both merit and financial need.
Covers: tuition, in full, living costs, travel
You apply: through the institution, which decides and the funder pays
We hold no award amounts. A scholarship described as full by one funder covers tuition only for another.
Location and delivery
Where this is, and whether you would have to be there.
Based in United Kingdom. Tell us where you are and this will say what that means for you.
Limited to citizens of eligible Commonwealth countries, as the Commission lists them, as stated by the provider.
Applying
What you would actually do.
We do not hold application dates for this. They are on the provider’s own page, and that is the only place they are current.
Something to find out
Read the official requirements yourself. Everything below is our reading of that page, and the page is what counts.
Stated by the provider
An undergraduate degree — stated as required.
Stated by the provider
Evidence that you could not otherwise fund the study — stated as required.
Save this and you can tick these off, add your own steps, and keep them beside whatever else you are considering. It stays on your device.
Important considerations
Things that change what you would do next.
- You apply through a participating UK university rather than to the Commission, and only for the specific courses that take part. Applying to the wrong body is the most common way this is missed.
- Being unable to fund the study otherwise is part of what is assessed, which is unusual and is the reason this one exists.

Other funding and financial support
Only things of the same kind appear here. Putting funding beside something of a different kind would suggest you are choosing between them, and usually you are not.
