The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship 2024 is a two-year master degree scholarship program at an ACU member university in a low- or middle-income Commonwealth country. This means that the eligible applicants will complete their degree program in another country. The QECS 2024 is a fully funded scholarship, and hence it will cover all the expenses for the full duration of the program.
The scholarship runs in two cycles. 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 again if you are interested in studying in another country. Citizens (or those who hold refugee status) in a Commonwealth country are welcome to apply. More details are given below.
