The UK Commonwealth Scholarships are prestigious awards offered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) to talented individuals from across the Commonwealth, including Uganda. These scholarships provide opportunities for postgraduate study and professional development in the UK, enabling recipients to gain advanced skills and knowledge to contribute to sustainable development in their home countries. The program focuses on themes such as health, science, technology, governance, and promoting global peace and security.

Annabel Boud, the Chief Executive Officer of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, oversees the program’s strategic direction, ensuring that it continues to support the brightest minds from Commonwealth nations. Under her leadership, the CSC remains committed to equity, excellence, and the transformative potential of education. Ugandans aspiring to further their studies have access to various fully funded scholarships covering tuition, living expenses, and travel. These include Master’s and PhD programs, as well as short-term fellowships for mid-career professionals.
