COMMONWEALTH SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME 2011

DFID

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, set up by DFID in 1986, represent a unique partnership between the United Kingdom government and UK Universities. To date in excess of 2,500* students from developing Commonwealth countries have been awarded Shared Scholarships. Without these awards they would not otherwise have been able to benefit from UK higher education. For 2011 the range of opportunities listed in the following pages is wide and will provide recipients of the Shared Scholarships with the skills and knowledge to assist in the development of their home countries. We are delighted that more than 50 UK universities have offered to support our scholarships by contributing the stipend for the students from their own resources, or those which the university has been able to generate from elsewhere. Indeed it is the mark of UK Universities commitment that the scheme receives many more bids each year than it has the resources to fulfil. This reflects the confidence of the Department for International Development, which provides the government funding for the scheme, that higher education and scholarships in particular have a critical role to play in influencing the development of some of the worlds poorest countries. We are pleased to see that this approach has been increasingly taken by other international agencies. Whilst the scheme is managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, its success depends critically on the support of participating universities, the Department for International Development and the students themselves. To all of these, we extend our grateful thanks and express the hope that the 2011 intake will be one of the most successful ever. *records only available from 1988 when the scheme was first administered by the ACU.

SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME ADDITIONAL NOTES Academic Technology Approval Scheme for International Students (ATAS) In common with other Governments around the world, the British Government is working hard to stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. The ATAS is designed to ensure that people who are applying to study certain sensitive subjects in the UK do not have links to WMD programmes. Since 1 November 2007 non-EU/EEA (including Switzerland) nationals planning to undertake postgraduate study in the UK in certain science, engineering or technology disciplines are required to have an ATAS certificate before they can apply for a Visa or Entry Clearance (EC). Application is free and can be made online. Applicants should hear about the result of their application within 20 working days from the date the application is received by the issuing department. For further information on the ATAS please go to www.fco.gov.uk/atas Visas There has recently been a change to UK Immigration Rules and Commonwealth Scholars are now required to apply for a visa to come to the UK under Tier 4 of the new Immigration System. The UK host university will be the sponsor for your visa.
