Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships 2023 | Fully Funded
The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships
(QECS) offer a unique opportunity to study a two-year Master's degree in
a low or middle-income Commonwealth country.
Aimed at students who are committed to creating change
in their communities, the scholarships are a life-changing opportunity to
experience a new country and culture, to broaden horizons, and to build a
global network that will last a lifetime.
Through cultural exchange and academic collaboration,
Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars help bring about positive change and find
solutions to the shared challenges we face - both in their home countries and
those that host them. As an active part of the Commonwealth network, scholars
will help shape its future.
The purpose of the Association of the Commonwealth
universities is to support excellence and construct a better world through the
British standard of higher education while complying with the Commonwealth’s
principles. Further, the Association is currently covering more than 500 member
universities in almost 50 countries across the banner of the Commonwealth.
Around more than 60% of their members belong to low and middle-income countries
whereas 5% belong to small states. It is an easy-to-access program, especially
for those belonging to developing countries who lack the developmental
resources to flourish in the globalized world.
