List of Commonwealth Scholarships and How to Apply

The last time I wrote an article on how to successfully find scholarships on the internet to pay for university, many of my readers have been asking how to apply for Commonwealth scholarships.

I am going to break it down in this article, depending on what type of commonwealth shared scholarship you are applying for. As you already know, Nigeria is a commonwealth nation and these scholarships are meant for students who intend to study in the UK.

An example of the scholarships are a commonwealth scholarship for master’s study, national scholarship and, of course, the one that is for a scholar. Although, these are scholarships for college students, you have to meet the requirements and able to submit the scholarship applications on time so that you don’t miss the deadlines.

However, it is preferable to use the scholarship finder or search engines like Google or Bing, but I will be providing the links to the different types of commonwealth scholarships and that should give you full details on how you can apply for each one.

Below is a list of available commonwealth scholarships – click on the link that will take you to various pages of the scholarships. From there, you should be able to find the requirements and how to apply for the scholarship you‘re interested in.
