Commonwealth Academic Staff Fellowships Awards 2009
United Kingdom
Since their inception in 1959, some 25,000 individuals have benefited
from the award of Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships to pursue
advanced academic study in other Commonwealth countries. About two
thirds of awards have been tenable in the United Kingdom. The vast
majority of award holders have returned to make a significant contrib -
ution to their home countries, in many cases at the highest level, making
the award scheme one of the largest and most prestigious in the world.
This prospectus describes the Commonwealth Academic Staff
Fellowships offered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in
the United Kingdom for citizens of developing Commonwealth countries
in 2009-10. Separate programmes and prospectuses exist for the
Commonwealth Scholarships, scholarships offered by distance learning
and on a shared funding basis, and for short mid-career professional
fellowships offered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission.
Please visit the CSC website at www.cscuk.org.uk for details of these
programmes. For information on Commonwealth Scholarships offered
by other Commonwealth countries, please visit the Commonwealth
Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) website at www.csfp-online.org

Hello,
I am very much glad to know about this scholarship program for trhe commonwealth countries and including refugees, but i am confused in the area where as may considering refugee living in a country where we have graduated from high school and didn’t have chance to enter university or college due to some reasons like: where you live as refugee is a french speaking country and we don’t have any university and you could not join them because of their language in school or finiancial problem and you didn’t have the chance to returned to your home country or any english speaking country for education because of the same financial problem and now you are wiling to continue your education upon seeing this scholarship program and only mentioning degrees holders. can you give an opportunity to this person to pursue his education as refugee with out any degree from university or college? If yes please inform me and i will await your answer and wish it best on my request.
