Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships are offered for citizens of certain developing Commonwealth countries. These scholarships are funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and are intended for high-quality postgraduate students who wish to access training not available in their home countries, who wish to remain in their home country while they study, and who have the potential to enhance the development of their home countries with the knowledge and leadership skills they acquire. The scholarships are for part-time Master's study by distance learning on selected courses offered by UK universities.
