Scholarship Description: Commonwealth Professional Fellowships support mid-career professionals from
developing Commonwealth countries to spend a period of time with a UK host organization working in their field for a
program of professional development. Fellowships are typically about three months but can be between one and six
months in length and can include limited time for attendance at short courses or conferences, as well as visits to
other organizations. Programs must have a demonstrable development impact in the Fellows home country and the
Fellow must be able to show how the knowledge and skills they will gain during the Fellowship will be disseminated
after their return home.
Number of award(s): The maximum number of fellows that can be nominated by an organization in one year is six.
The CSC will decide upon the actual number of Fellows chosen.
Duration of award(s): Fellowships should normally be between one and three months duration, although
applications for longer periods (up to a maximum of six months) will be considered, but only when a strong case for
the additional time has been made. The duration of the Fellowship should, however, be long enough to allow for
serious development of professional skills, so the CSC will not be able to consider applications for awards of less
than one month.
What does it cover? Each Commonwealth Professional Fellowship provides:
-A return economy airfare from the Fellows home country to the UK
-A monthly (or pro rata) living allowance for the duration of the Fellowship (currently 1,563 per month regionally,
1,938 per month for those based in the London Metropolitan area). Exceptionally, depending on the programme
arranged, a peripatetic living allowance may be payable. Further details if applicable will be given at the time of offer
-An arrival allowance of up to 878.17 at current rates, including an element for warm clothing
-A fixed amount for excess baggage for return travel only, dependent on the airport destination. The Fellow will be
advised of the amount close to the date of departure
-A flat rate contribution of 800 to the costs of the host organisation(s), in respect of the administration and support of
the Fellow, setting up of appropriate meetings, and any materials required, as well as costs of incidental travel for the
Fellow during the award
-Fees for any conferences or short courses attended during the period of the Fellowship, providing that these have
been approved at the time when the application was considered by the CSC. Reasonable fees up to a maximum of
3,000 will be agreed in the context of the length of the programme, but full justification should be given for the
amount being claimed. Fees should also be included in the application to cover the cost of travel for visits to other
organisations in the UK, where these form an integral part of the programme
-Other fees, for which the CSC will consider requests from the nominating organisation on a case-by-case basis.
However, when planning an application, nominating/host organisations should bear in mind the following
restrictions:
-Induction/evaluation programmes must be in scale with the programme.
-Modest fees including catering, room hire, and facilitator hire for such programmes may be agreed; however, fees for
facilitators for evaluation programmes will not be approved.
-Additional accommodation costs may be recovered from the Fellows stipend.
-Requests for funds for cultural events, mobile phones, laptop computer hire, professional association
memberships, costs associated with visits outside the UK, and contingencies will not be approved.
Selection Criteria: 2014 applications for Commonwealth Professional Fellowships will be judged on the following
criteria:
-the extent to which the proposed Fellowship will ensure the transfer of skills relevant to the needs of a
Commonwealth developing country
-the extent to which those skills will lead to practical benefits for the developing country following the Fellowship
-the extent to which the Fellowship will have a catalytic effect, either within the developing country concerned, or in
establishing new relationships with the UK.
Notification: Not Known
How to Apply:
-Applications for Commonwealth Professional Fellowships must come from UK organisations the CSC cannot
accept any applications directly from prospective Fellows. An online application form is available at website. The first
section of the form should be completed by a representative of the host organisation; the second section of the form
should then be completed by the prospective Fellow(s). The CSC cannot accept applications directly from individual
candidates and these will not be acknowledged.
-If you are a contact at a prospective host organisation interested in making an application, you will need to register to
use our Electronic Application System (EAS). To do this, please write to the CSC on your organisations headed paper
providing the full name and email address of the person who will make the application and who will act as the main
contact should the Fellowship go ahead. This letter can be sent by post to or as an attachment by email to
professional.fellowships-at-cscuk.org.uk. They will then be able to set you up as a nominator on the EAS, and will
email you instructions on how to apply. Organisations that have been previously registered on the EAS can use the
login and password already provided, but should email professional.fellowships-at-cscuk.org.uk to inform the CSC
that you intend to make an application in 2014 (Round 2).
Note: The EAS is currently closed. Please register your interest in applying in this round by following the instructions
above, and you will be notified when the EAS is opened for applications at the end of July 2014.
Scholarship Application Deadline: The closing date for applications for 2014 (Round 3) Commonwealth Professional
Fellowships is 18 September 2014.
