Good day fine people.

Was on the verge of applying for Common Wealth scholarship - but the main purpose is to stay back.

From all indications, it's seems this is not possible.

The Common Wealth scholarship management won't grant a former scholar a NOC.

Because the baseline is, you must go back and develop your country.

Pls, any legend to help out?

Have you benefited from CSC before and stayed back?

According to them, Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships aim to equip Scholars to contribute to the development of their home countries, and to help Fellows benefit their employing universities/organisations.

When you accept your award, you commit to return to your home country after the end of your award.

You must leave the UK within one month of the end of your award tenure or one month after the end of your programme, whichever is earlier. If you fail to do so, your airfare and excess baggage entitlements may be withdrawn.

You cannot remain in the UK to attend graduation ceremonies that take place after this point.
