The Commonwealth Shared Scholarships were set up by the Department for International Development (DFID) in 1986 as a unique partnership between the UK government and UK universities.The scholarships help academically excellent students from developing Commonwealth countries who could not normally afford to study in Britain. They are offered on taught Masters courses in subjects related to economic, social and technological development. It is hoped the students will go on to contribute towards developing their home countries.
LSBU has been unable to meet the high costs of the scholarship in previous years. However, this year we received a substantial donation from Nathu Puri which has allowed us to take part. Over the next 5 years, 10 students will now be able to study at LSBU with a full scholarship, covering their tuition fees, accommodation and expenses.
