Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are a joint initiative between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (with funding from DFID) and UK universities, including the University of Stirling, to jointly support scholarships for students from developing Commonwealth countries who would not otherwise be able to study in the UK.
The University of Stirling has four Commonwealth Shared Scholarships to offer for the 2014-2015 academic year.

- Candidates are normally expected to hold a first degree at either first class or upper second class level
- Candidates should have applied for admission to the University of Stirling before applying for the Scholarship
- Candidates must certify that they: (i) Are from a Commonwealth developing country, not at present employed by a government department (either national or local) or a parastatal organisation and not at present living or studying in a developed country; (ii) Have not undertaken studies lasting one year or more in a developed country; (iii) Are themselves, or through their families, unable to pay to study in the United Kingdom; (iv) Agree to return to their own country to work or study as soon as the award ends.
