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.

• 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
