The deadline for nominating bodies to submit nominations to the CSC is 17 December 2015. The CSC invites around three times more nominations than scholarships available – therefore, nominated candidates are not guaranteed to be awarded a scholarship. There are no quotas for scholarships for any individual country. Candidates nominated by national nominating agencies are in competition with those nominated by other nominating bodies, and the same standards will be applied to applications made through either channel. Each nominated candidate’s application is first considered by a member of the CSC’s panel of advisers with expertise in the subject area concerned, and then by the CSC’s selection committee in competition with other candidates. Applications are considered according to the following selection criteria: Academic merit of the candidate Quality of the proposal Potential impact of the work on the development of the candidate’s home country For further details, see the Selection criteria for 2016 Commonwealth Scholarships for Master’s and PhD study You may also find the Feedback for unsuccessful candidates useful.
