How to apply
Candidates must apply for a Commonwealth Shared Scholarship using one of two methods, as instructed by the university:- Via university: Applying to the university in the first instance using the university’s own application form. If selected, candidates will then be asked to submit an application to the CSC using the EAS. Any applications made via the EAS only and not directly to the university first will not be considered.
- Electronic Application System (EAS) only: Applying to both the university and the CSC at the same time using the EAS.
The EAS will close to applicants on 16 April 2015 and no further applications can be submitted after that date. Candidates should note that most university closing dates fall before 16 April and you must submit your application by the date advised by the university to which you are applying.
