Commonwealth Professional Fellowships
Commonwealth Professional Fellowships
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission provides funds for UK organisations to host visits from mid-career professionals from the developing Commonwealth, whose work is critical to the development of their home country.
Commonwealth Professional Fellowships support programmes of training designed to have a catalytic effect in developing skills that will subsequently be applied in a developing Commonwealth country. Funding will be provided for programmes of typically three months duration, although requests for funding for shorter or longer programmes of up to six months will be considered. Priority will be given to programmes training professionals in the broadly defined fields of education, engineering, environment, governance, public health and technology.
Applications are invited from organisations in the United Kingdom seeking to host such visits. Fellowships cover the full cost of travel to the UK, living expenses, some UK travel and other approved short course and conference expenses, and a contribution to the host organisation's costs.
