Applications are invited for the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship 2025 for citizens of Commonwealth member states for the 2025 academic session. The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS) offer a unique opportunity to study for a two-year Master’s degree in a low- or middle-income Commonwealth country.
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.
A wide range of academic subjects is offered under a Commonwealth Master’s scholarship. The scholarships are named in honor of Her Majesty The Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, and fully funded and supported by several commonwealth governments.
