Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS) are fully-funded Master’s scholarships open to all Commonwealth citizens. Through them, successful applicants can access a wide range of courses and benefit from the expertise provided by universities in a range of countries. Developing new skills, gaining a qualification and experiencing life in another country through a scholarship is of huge benefit both to the individual and their home country and community.

Applications are now open for QECS 2020-21, with the theme of international collaboration. Please share this information with your students and networks. Guidance to promote the scholarships on social media can be found here, and further information is included in the attached booklet, 'QECS: building Commonwealth connections through higher education'. An application leaflet is also attached for you to share with students.

The application deadline is 4pm (UCT) on 15 January 2020. More information and the application process can be found on the Association of Commonwealth Universities' website.
