About the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan
The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) is an international programme under which Commonwealth countries offer scholarships and fellowships to citizens of other member states. The CSFP was established by Commonwealth education ministers at their first conference in 1959. Since then, Commonwealth Scholarships have become one of the most prestigious and best-known international scholarship schemes. Over 30,000 individuals have benefited.
The five main principles of the Plan, laid down at the time of its formation, are that it would:
- Be distinct and additional to any other schemes
- Be based on mutual cooperation and the sharing of educational experience among all Commonwealth countries
- Be flexible, to take account of changing needs over time
- Be Commonwealth-wide, and based on a series of bilateral arrangements between home and host countries
- Recognise and promote the highest level of intellectual achievement
Countries offering scholarships
Each individual country decides whether to offer scholarships and, if so, what type. The awards have traditionally been supported by host governments and/or universities.
