The Commonwealth Shared Scholarship provides fully funded scholarships to students from eligible Commonwealth countries, including Jamaica, to pursue selected full-time master’s degree programmes at participating universities in the United Kingdom. The scholarship is jointly funded by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) and participating UK universities and is intended for students who would not otherwise be able to afford to study in the UK. In Jamaica, the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service acts as the national nominating agency for the UK Commonwealth Scholarship.
