COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP

The 'Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan', established in 1959, was designed by Commonwealth governments to enable students to pursue studies in Commonwealth countries other than their own. It also arranges professional visiting fellowships for educators and researchers between Commonwealth countries. It is one of the primary mechanisms of pan-Commonwealth exchange.
This has involved exchange of students between and within Commonwealth members such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa and many Caribbean, and Oceanic nations. The United Kingdom has been the greatest recipient of foreign scholars since inception of the Plan. It is co-ordinated by the Association of Commonwealth Universities but scholars are screened or selected by representatives in their home countries.
