Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme

                       Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme 2011/12

The Shared Scholarship Scheme is a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (with funding from DFID), and UK universities, to support scholarships for students from developing Commonwealth countries who would not otherwise be able to study in the United Kingdom.

Deadline: 31 May 2011


Who is eligible?

Applicants should:
a. be nationals of (or permanently domiciled in) a Commonwealth developing country, and not currently be living or studying in a developed country (please see the booklet for a list of eligible countries)
b. hold a first degree at either first or upper second class level;

g. be willing to confirm that they will return to their home country as soon as their period of study is complete



How can I apply?

All enquiries should be addressed to the University at which you wish to study and through which you should therefore apply for a Scholarship, and not to the Commission. They will advise you on eligibility issues and on how to make an application direct to them.



Option 1:

Most universities will handle advertising and recruitment directly using their own application form and applications should therefore be made to the participating university direct. Following the university's closing date, the university will ask the candidates it selects to complete the CSC's application form using our Electronic Application System (EAS). Candidates should note that they must complete the EAS by the 17 May 2011 at the latest in order to be nominated to the Commission by their host university.

Option 2:

Some universities want all candidates for their Shared Scholarship courses to apply via the Commission's Electronic Application System (EAS). You will be advised by the institution if this is the case and should then access the EAS once it is available for Shared Scholarships from the 19 November 2010 - applications must be submitted in time to meet the institution's own deadline which will be made clear in the EAS and is listed in the Booklet (where institutions have not specified a closing date candidates should contact the institution so as to ascertain the latest date that the institution is willing to accept applications).

All institutions are asked to forward their nominations to the CSC no later than 31 May 2011 using the EAS.

King Faisal International Prize (KFIP)

                   King Faisal International Prize (KFIP)

Each year, the selection committees designate subjects in Islamic Studies, Arabic Literature, and Medicine. Topics in Islamic Studies highlight areas of importance in Muslim society; Arabic Literature related to specialized areas within the discipline. Subjects in Medicine are reflecting current areas of international concern. The Science subcategories cover a broad scope: physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology.

Deadline: 27 April 2011

Nominations for the Prizes are accepted from international institutions and organizations only, and not from individuals or political parties. Winners of the Prize for Service to Islam are chosen directly by the respective selection committee. For other Prize categories, pre selection by peer reviewers is carried out, following which the works of worthy nominees are submitted for further scrutiny by selected referees appropriate to each discipline. Autonomous, international, specialist selection committees are then convened at the headquarters of King Faisal Foundation in Riyadh each January to make their final decisions.


Merit alone governs the rigorous selection procedures, earning King Faisal International Prize the distinction of being among the most prestigious of international awards to scholars and scientists who have made the most significant advances to benefit humanity and enrich human knowledge. This year's awards bring the total number of laureates to 216 distinguished individuals from 40 countries.


Each of the five Prize categories consists of a certificate, hand written in Diwani calligraphy, summarizing the laureate's work; a commemorative 24 carat, 200 gram gold medal, uniquely cast for each Prize; and a cash endowment of SR750,000 (US$200,000). Co winners in any category share the monetary grant. The Prizes are awarded during a ceremony in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, under the auspices of the King of Saudi Arabia.


King Faisal International Prize laureates have earned numerous other prestigious national and international prizes for their efforts. In some cases, King Faisal International Prize has preceded other international awards, including even the Nobel Prize, thus validating the rigorous and unbiased selection process.


The granting of these Prizes embodies King Faisal Foundation's firm belief that through the collective efforts of outstanding individuals the highest aspirations of mankind are realized. The Prizes enable the Foundation to show its appreciation to men and women who have made truly outstanding contributions in their respective fields.

Women’s participation in the education sector is very low. This activity will ensure that at least 25% of the awarded scholarships go to women, especially those coming from remote and vulnerable areas of Pakistan, who are financially needy, and meet admission criteria of the selected 11 partner universities.


Only those students who are applying for spring/fall 2011 admission in the respective courses offered by the participating institutions are eligible to apply.

The eligibility of a candidate is linked to neediness of the candidate as determined & assessed by the financial background of his/her family.
