Commonwealth Scholarship

The Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) is a programme under which member governments offer scholarships to citizens of other Commonwealth countries. The CSFP was established at the first Common­wealth education conference in 1959 and is reviewed by education ministers at their triennial meetings. CSFP India gives Indians of high academic caliber the chance to pursue their masters, doctorates and academic and profes­sional fellowship programmes in the UK. The programme is jointly managed by the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) in the UK, the Min­istry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) of the Government of India, the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the British Council. Applications are invited by the MHRD for scholarships and the UGC for fellowships.
