The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC) awards over 900 scholarships and
fellowships for postgraduate study and professional development to Commonwealth citizens each year.
The CSC aims to contribute to the UK’s international development aims and wider overseas interests, support
excellence in UK higher education, and sustain the principles of the Commonwealth. Candidates are selected on the
basis of merit and their potential to contribute to the needs of their home countries.
Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships in the UK are funded by the Department for International Development
(for developing Commonwealth countries), and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the
Scottish Government (for developed Commonwealth countries), in conjunction with UK universities.
The CSC offers:
Commonwealth Scholarships for PhD research and for Master’s study for postgraduate study at any UK university
which has a funding agreement with the CSC. Candidates should apply in the first instance to the national nominating
agency of their resident country. Additional nominations are sought each year from developing country universities and
other sources.
Commonwealth Split-site Scholarships for PhD candidates to spend up to 12 months in the UK as part of their
doctoral studies. Candidates should apply directly to the CSC.
Commonwealth Shared Scholarships for Master’s study, for students from developing countries who would not
otherwise be able to study in the UK, jointly supported by UK universities. Universities are invited each year to bid to
host these scholarships.
Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships for Master’s study, for students from developing countries to study
UK degree courses while living in their home countries. UK universities are invited each year to register expressions of
interest for the CSC to support their course(s).
Commonwealth Academic Fellowships for early career academics from developing countries – including the CSC’s
own PhD alumni – to conduct research and network. Alumni should apply directly to the CSC; nominations are also
invited from selected universities.
Commonwealth Professional Fellowships for mid-career professionals from developing countries to spend time at a
UK organisation. Applications are invited each year from UK organisations from any sector that wish to host these
fellowships.
Commonwealth Medical Fellowships for mid-career medical staff from developing countries to enhance their clinical
skills. Nominations are invited from selected universities.
The CSC was established by Act of Parliament in 1959, and is a non-departmental public body. It comprises up to 14
Commissioners and a chair, who are appointed by the Secretary of State for International Development in line with the
Public Appointments Commissioner’s code of practice. The CSC’s Secretariat is provided by the Association of
Commonwealth Universities, based in London; overseas services are provided by the British Council.
The CSC manages the UK’s contribution to the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP), an
international programme under which member governments offer scholarships and fellowships to citizens of other
Commonwealth countries.
Full information on the scholarships and fellowships administered by the CSC, including application procedures and
eligibility requirements, is available at www.dfid.gov.uk/cscuk

Foreword
We have the honour to submit, pursuant to Schedule 2, Section 13, Clause (5) 2 of the International Development Act
2002, the following report of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom for the year ending
30 September 2016.
Every year brings new successes for Commonwealth Scholars. This year’s examples include the recently appointed
Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge in the UK, the new President of Stanford University in the USA, and the
Director of Public Prosecutions in Malawi. They join hundreds of prime and cabinet ministers, ambassadors and central
bank governors, vice-chancellors and a Nobel laureate who have held our awards, and thousands more working to help
the development of their countries in the most practical ways.
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) is a UK public body. For almost 60 years, we have awarded
scholarships and fellowships to the brightest of Commonwealth citizens to study at UK universities. Regular evaluation
and alumni activity demonstrate a proven record of success. This report details how and where we have used our grant-
in-aid in 2015-2016. This forms part of a much wider picture. Over 26,000 Commonwealth Scholars and Fellows have
benefited from our awards, many going on to make profound improvements in their countries and regions.
Commonwealth Scholarships are the UK’s programme of international development scholarships. Most of our funding
comes primarily from the Department for International Development, and is focused on achieving the UK government’s
strategic development objectives. Additional funding from other government departments ensures that awards are also
available to outstanding students from developed Commonwealth countries. We are confident of our impact because we
measure it through regular surveys and evaluation. Our most recent survey analysis demonstrated that Commonwealth
Scholarships contribute to gains across a range of important outcomes, and particularly so for respondents from lower
income countries.
Our evaluation programme is also increasingly undertaking qualitative research with a variety of stakeholders, including
our alumni. Our two most recent profiles show the breadth of the socioeconomic and political impact of the CSC’s
support, from research and advocacy for women’s health in Bangladesh to the development of research links between
Canada and the UK on the history of migration and tourism. Full details of our evaluation work are available at
bit.ly/cscuk-evaluation
We are also the only HMG programme to provide significant numbers of research scholarships for developing country
students, thereby contributing to UK universities’ world-leading research on global challenges. In this report year, over
400 Commonwealth Scholars undertook doctoral-level research at nearly 70 UK universities. Following completion of
their PhD, many Scholars sustain collaborative partnerships between countries in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean and
the UK throughout their academic career, to the mutual benefit of all. Research is teamwork, on an international scale.
Universities recognise the quality of our students through generous partnership and fee waiver programmes, adding over
£4.7 million to our budget.
Our work relies on a wide range of stakeholders. Thanks are due to the Department for International Development, the
Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, and the Scottish Government, for their generous funding – as well as UK
universities. We also appreciate the input of our panel of over 200 academic advisers, who give their time freely in
support of our selection processes. Above all, our success reflects the efforts of our outstanding Scholars, Fellows, and
alumni, whose achievements remain at the heart of our work.

2015-2016 business plan – priorities
The CSC business plan indicates the ways in which it will pursue its role during each financial year, and its budget for
the year. It should be read in conjunction with the corporate plan, which embeds this activity in the CSC’s longer-term
strategy. The priorities set out in the CSC corporate plan and business plan during 2015-2016 are listed below, along
with a report on activity in each area.
Priority: Ensure that awards are fully aligned with the objectives of DFID and other sponsoring organisations, whilst
maintaining academic and professional integrity
Report: This is ensured through regular meetings of the full Commission and the Executive Group, as well as the
CSC’s four Committees (Audit and Risk Management, Awards Policy, Evaluation and Monitoring, and
Finance). DFID representatives attend Commission meetings and there is regular liaison with departments
within DFID alongside these meetings. In addition, the CSC has a timetable for review and update of its key
governance and policy documents, and for audit.
Priority: Maintain progress towards the targets agreed with DFID for the 2011-15 period which are set out below
Report: Progress against the 14 key performance indicators is set out on page 8 of this report.
Priority: Ensure that our provision of awards remains relevant, accessible, and good value for money
Report: The Evaluation and Monitoring, and Awards Policy Committees are responsible for ensuring that the CSC’s
provision remains relevant, accessible, and good value for money. In the 2015-2016 report year, a working
group to look at the issue of equity and access across the CSC’s provision was established, with this work to
be taken forward in 2016-2017.
Priority: Provide evidence of the impact of its awards on recipients and their home countries
Report: Baseline surveys were distributed to Scholars and Academic and Medical Fellows starting their awards in
2015-2016. A new longitudinal post-award Scholar survey due to launch in 2016 was designed and
successfully piloted. Post-award surveys for Fellows were successfully distributed, and qualitative methods
have been further developed.
Priority: Initiate activities and encourage award holders and alumni to maintain closer links with the scheme, and
thereby contribute more effectively to development
Report: 27 student engagement events (including 10 events organised by the CSC’s Regional Networks) and 27
alumni events were held in 2015-2016. An ‘opt-out’ alumni model was introduced so that award holders are
automatically signed up as alumni while on award; none have chosen to opt out to date. Monthly email
newsletters are sent to award holders and selected candidates, in addition to regular email communication
with alumni. Both award holders and alumni contribute to the CSC’s magazine, Common Knowledge, and are
featured in news stories on the CSC’s website.
Priority: Introduce and consolidate new methods of governance, in line with the recommendations of the recent review
of the Commission’s non-departmental public body (NDPB) status
Report: Actions from the review have been completed. The CSC’s governance documents and policies are updated
annually (at the November Audit and Risk Management and December Commission meetings) and published
on the GOV.UK website. The CSC has an ongoing programme of audit by DFID’s Internal Audit Department;
two audits were carried out in 2015-2016: an audit of selection processes was finalised in May 2015, and an
audit of risk management procedures was completed in February 2016.
Priority: Continue to review the proportion of our administration costs, thereby maximising the proportion of resources
devoted to scholarships and fellowships, and other directly related activities
Report: Administration costs were 5.9% of the total grant-in-aid in 2015-2016, from 6.7% in 2014-2015 and 7.3% in
2013-2014 (see pages 36-37 for more detail).
Priority: Contribute to the maintenance of a vibrant Commonwealth-wide CSFP
Report: A report on the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) was presented to ministers at the
19th Conference of Commonwealth Education Ministers (19CCEM) in June 2015, alongside presentations
from two Commonwealth Scholars. Individual meetings were also held at 19CCEM with education ministers/
representatives from nine Commonwealth countries to discuss their involvement in the CSFP and its
endowment fund. A report on future CSFP activity was discussed by the Commission at its meeting in
December 2015. The CSC participated in a meeting of the CSFP Taskforce (which is considering the future
direction of the plan) in January 2016.
7
Priority: Develop new strategies for 2016 onwards
Report: The CSC has an annual timetable and procedures in place for the update of its business plan and corporate
plan which allows its Committees as well as the full Commission to propose and agree new strategies to be
included in the plans for the following year
Priority: Continue the review of the work of nominating agencies under the current arrangements
Report: DFID IAD were asked to undertake an audit of the CSC’s allocation and selection processes, including the
work of national nominating agencies. The audit recommendations were followed up, and a joint meeting of
the Evaluation and Monitoring and Awards Policy Committees in July 2015 agreed a plan for increased
engagement with nominating agencies. This plan includes mechanisms to seek further information from
nominating agencies in order to better understand their processes, as well as establishing ‘minimum
requirements’ for the promotion and selection of awards.
Priority: Continue the review of national agencies and universities as nomination routes
Report: Work with national nominating agencies is ongoing (see above). A review of nominations by developing
Commonwealth universities is on the agenda for consideration by the Evaluation and Monitoring Committee.
Priority: Further develop the alumni engagement strategy and review the CSC Professional Networks
Report: A holistic engagement strategy (covering pre-departure, student engagement, and alumni engagement) with a
budget for 2015-2016 was agreed in April 2015, with ongoing development of the strategy. An ‘opt-out’ alumni
model was introduced so that award holders are automatically signed up as alumni while on award; none have
chosen to opt out to date. There has been increased engagement with UK university alumni offices. Alumni
are also increasingly included in CSC events for award holders.
Priority: Review the format and content of the Development Module and prepare terms for retender
Report: The contract with the current provider was extended to March 2016. The Secretariat review process has
concluded and recommendations have been presented to a working group of Commissioners.
Priority: Deliver separate Welcome Programmes for Scholars and Fellows
Report: The Welcome Event for Fellows was held on 6 November 2015 in London, and the Welcome Event for
Scholars (including Shared Scholars) was held on 27 November 2015 in Nottingham.
Priority: Undertake an evaluation study of the CSC doctoral programme
Report: Evaluation was ongoing in 2015-2016. Completion of the report – presenting a summative analysis of the
CSC’s support for doctoral study, representing over 7,000 awards and incorporating the demographics of the
scheme over the past 50 years, analysis of the trajectories of Commonwealth doctoral alumni, examples of
outcomes and impact, and the results of supervisor interviews and surveys – is planned for 2016.
Priority: Undertake an evaluation counterfactual mid-term review
Report: This was completed in January 2015.
Priority: Complete the cycle of evaluation questionnaires to the full alumni group and produce a final analysis report
Report: The 2015 evaluation survey was conducted, with the two final cohorts of alumni being surveyed. Initial analysis
was undertaken, with the final report completed and published in full and abridged formats in March 2016.
Priority: Coordinate an external review of the CSC’s activities for the period 2011-2015
Report: The terms of reference for the review are under reconsideration following legal advice on procurement.
Priority: Co-ordinate with DFID to deliver seminars in areas of evaluation impact and innovation
Report: A seminar on innovation in distance learning was held on 1 December 2015, including presentations from
three of the CSC’s distance learning providers. A seminar on evaluation impact was postponed while internal
planning and development of approaches to impact and value for money took place.

2015 awards
In this report, we both present the total numbers of awards held in 2015-2016 and show which of these are new awards
taken up in the period. 1,632 awards were held in the 2015-2016 report year. 912 of these were new 2015 awards taken up.
Region
44 countries were represented in the 2015 intake for
Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships (see
pages 20-22). The CSC does not have specific quotas
for individual Commonwealth countries, as the primary
concern when selecting candidates is that successful
applicants should be of the highest calibre. In the report
year, 66% of all awards were made to candidates from
sub-Saharan Africa, 26% to those from South Asia, 5%
to those from the Caribbean, and 3% to those from other
regions, including Australasia, the Pacific, North
America, and Europe.
Level of study
The CSC operates three distinct schemes supporting
Master’s study: Commonwealth Scholarships for
Master’s study, Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, and Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships. Across all
three schemes, 599 candidates took up awards for taught study in the report year, reflecting the diverse and relevant
range of Master’s courses offered by UK universities.
Doctoral scholarships remain a significant part of the CSC’s portfolio of awards, through two programmes:
Commonwealth Scholarships for PhD study, and Commonwealth Split-site Scholarships. Across both schemes, 151
candidates took up awards for doctoral study, including 28 awards to academic staff at universities in developing
countries.

Gender
The CSC has continued its work on
encouraging the participation of
women in all its programmes. While
positive discrimination is not a factor in
selection, the importance of a fair
gender balance is highlighted to
nominating agencies. The CSC invites
nominations from women’s universities
in South Asia and from the Forum for
African Women Educationalists, with
the aim of increasing female
participation. In terms of financial
support on award, provision is made
for Scholars on longer awards who are
accompanied by their families.
The CSFP
As part of the UK’s contribution to the
Commonwealth Scholarship and
Fellowship Plan (CSFP), the CSC also
nominates UK candidates for
Commonwealth Scholarships offered
by other Commonwealth countries. In
2015-2016, a total of 7 award holders
from the UK were funded for doctoral
study in New Zealand, studying
Biology, Chemical Sciences, Geology,
Psychology, Public Health, and Sports
Science.

Governance statement
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC) was established by Act of Parliament in
1959 in order to manage the UK contribution to the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP), launched
by Commonwealth education ministers in 1958. Its status was subsequently reaffirmed in the International Development
Act of 2002 (the Act).
The CSC is a non-departmental public body, for which the Department for International Development (DFID) is the lead
department and main sponsor, focusing exclusively on awards that deliver on poverty reduction. Other financial
contributions are received from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Scottish
Government for awards to Scholars from richer Commonwealth countries. The CSC is independent of government in its
decision-making and operations; the Act legislates that the Secretary of State may not give any direction for the selection
or rejection of any particular person for an award or as a candidate for an award. The CSC submits an Annual Report on
its work each year to the Secretary of State; this forms the basis of a report submitted by the Secretary of State to
Parliament, to which (s)he is ultimately responsible for the work of the CSC.
In addition to regulations provided in the 1959 Act (which have been confirmed in subsequent Development Acts) and
subsequent Ministerial Directives, detailed governance arrangements for the CSC have been set out in a framework
document. The framework includes an associated financial memorandum and the CSC’s three-year corporate and one-
year business plans. The DFID Internal Audit Department (IAD) provides the CSC’s internal audit function. The CSC’s
annual income and expenditure are incorporated in the overall accounts of DFID, and the CSC account is held with the
Government Banking Service.
The Commission currently comprises 15 members, including the Chair, who are appointed in accordance with the
principles of the Code of Practice for Ministerial Appointments to Public Bodies. Members are appointed by the
Secretary of State for an initial period of three years, with the possibility of renewal for one further three-year
appointment. The Executive Secretary of the Commission is the Accounting Officer for the CSC, with responsibility to the
Secretary of State for its conduct and performance. It is expected that the Chair and other relevant officials will meet with
relevant ministers at least annually to discuss the work of the CSC.
The full Commission meets three times per year. It is supported in its work by specialist committees, made up of
Commissioners, which deal with Finance, Audit and Risk Management, Awards Policy, and Evaluation and Monitoring.
Separate committees of Commissioners are convened to handle the selection of scholarship recipients. The CSC has no
employees, contracting out its Secretariat and other management functions to two external bodies: the Association of
Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and the British Council. The effectiveness and value for money of these
arrangements are formally evaluated annually by the Finance Committee, which recommends appropriate action to the
full Commission. The CSC operates an Evaluation and Monitoring Programme which provides evidence of the impact of
its work, through interviews and surveys of alumni and other stakeholders. The results of this programme influence the
CSC’s decision-making processes.
The status of the CSC was subject to an independent assessment by DFID in 2013, as part of the Government’s rolling
programme of triennial review of public bodies. This review reported in September 2013 that the functions carried out by
the CSC are required and that the delivery model is appropriate and offers value for money.

Notes
1. These figures were consolidated in DFID's audited Annual Report and Accounts 2016/15.
2. The CSC also engaged independent auditors to inspect the statement that the CSC submitted to DFID. This work
found no exceptions to what was expected.
3. This activity is managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom.
4. In 2015/2016, funds from BIS and the Scottish Government were channelled through DFID, in line with government
practice.
5. The CSC holds no fixed assets.
6. The CSC employs no staff.
7. The cost of administration before adding VAT was 5.0% in 2015/2016, down from 5.6% in 2014/2015.
8. The contribution of UK universities to CSC programmes, through maintenance payments and tuition fees, was a
further £4.79m. Such partnership contributions increase the number of awards available.
9. Having no VATable outputs, the CSC is not registered for VAT so cannot reclaim VAT on any of its inputs.
