QUEEN ELIZABETH COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIPS

Application Deadline:  14 January 2026, 15:00 UTC

LOCATION: United Kingdom

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.

ELIGIBILITY:

Each year there are two opportunities to apply for QECS—cycle 1 opens in November/December and cycle 2 opens in March/April. You only need to submit one application, but you are welcome to apply more than once if there is another country you are interested in studying in.

Citizens (or those who hold refugee status) in a Commonwealth country are welcome to apply.

Applicants must apply for a QECS award in a country other than their home country/country of citizenship. Refugees should apply as if they were citizens of the country that has offered them refugee status.

You must have obtained a 2:1 to be able to apply for the scholarship.
