The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarships (QECS) provide a unique opportunity to pursue a two-year Master’s degree in a low- or middle-income Commonwealth country.

The scholarships are aimed at students who are committed to making a difference in their communities. They provide a life-changing opportunity to experience a new country and culture, broaden horizons, and build a global network that will last a lifetime.

Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars help to bring about positive change and find solutions to the shared challenges they face, both in their home countries and in those that host them. As active members of the Commonwealth network, scholars will help shape its future.
