The Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship 2024 is a special opportunity for people to get a two-year master’s degree for free. If you qualify, you’ll study at a university in a Commonwealth country that isn’t very rich. This means you’ll be doing your degree in a different country. The scholarship pays for everything during the entire program, so you won’t have to worry about any expenses.
The scholarship has two parts. The first one starts in November or December, and the second one starts in March or April. You only have to apply once, but if you want to study in a different country, you can apply again. People from Commonwealth countries, including citizens and those with refugee status, can apply. More information is provided below.
