Apply for Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth
Scholarships 2026: (Deadline 14 January 2026)
The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth
Scholarships (QECS) offer a unique opportunity to study a two-year Master’s
degree in a low or middle-income Commonwealth country.
Aimed at students who are committed to
creating change in their communities, the scholarships are a life-changing
opportunity to experience a new country and culture, to broaden horizons, and
to build a global network that will last a lifetime.
Through cultural exchange and academic
collaboration, Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholars help bring about positive
change and find solutions to the shared challenges we face – both in their home
countries and those that host them. As an active part of the Commonwealth
network, scholars will help shape its future.
Each year there are two opportunities to
apply for QECS – cycle 1 opens in November/December and cycle 2 opens in
March/April. You only need to submit one application, but you are welcome to
apply more than once if there is another country you are interested in studying
in.
