Bango University Commonwealth Scholarships 2024 For African Students

Introduction to the Bango University Commonwealth Scholarships 2024

Bango University and the Commonwealth Scholarships Commission are jointly funding six scholarships for master’s study at Bango University in September 2024. This scholarship is offered annually by Bango University.

Eligible Countries for the Bango University Commonwealth Scholarships

Preference will be given to students from East and Central African Countries. We are especially interested in applications from strong candidates resident in Uganda and Kenya who are refugees, internally displaced, or have otherwise been affected by conflict.

Eligible Field of Study

Available for all postgraduate taught courses (not including MBA courses) starting in September 2023

Eligibility Criteria

To apply for these scholarships, you must:

Be a citizen of or have been granted refugee status by an eligible Commonwealth country, or be a British Protected Person.
Be permanently resident in an eligible Commonwealth country.

Be available to start your academic studies in the UK by the start of the UK academic year in September 2024.
By September 2024, hold a first degree of at least upper second class (2:1) honors standard, or a second class degree (2:2) and a relevant postgraduate qualification (usually a Master’s degree). The CSC would not normally fund a second UK Master’s degree. If you are applying for a second UK Master’s degree, you will need to provide justification as to why you wish to undertake this study.
Be unable to afford to study in the UK without this scholarship.

Have provided all supporting documentation in the required format.
Candidates must check with the nominating agency for their specific advice and rules for applying, and their own eligibility criteria.

National nominating agencies: this is the main route for applications
Selected non-governmental organisations and charitable bodies
