Eligibility and How to apply
The deadline for the submission of electronic applications for a Commonwealth Shared Scholarship at Warwick is 11 March 2013.
All applicants will need to first apply for admission to the University as a postgraduate student (see details here) and then submit a separate electronic application for the Commonwealth Shared Scholarship via the Commission's Electronic Application System.
You should note that the Commission's online guidance refers to two possible processes for applications. Warwick is using the process whereby students apply directly using the Electronic Application System ('Option 2' on this page), please make your admissions application to Warwick first here but then do not wait before making your Scholarship application on the EAS.
The scheme is administered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission and further information about the funding and applicants' eligibility, including a list of the countries considered 'developing', is available on the Commonwealth Shared Scholarships webpage and in the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission's prospectus (available shortly) . We would strongly recommend reading this booklet carefully as there are a number of restrictions placed on eligibility in order for the Commission to realise its aims of futhering development.
