Potential impact of the work on the development of the candidate’s home country
Selection process

Each year, the CSC invites selected nominating bodies to submit a specific number of nominations.

The CSC invites around three times more nominations than scholarships available – therefore, nominated candidates are not guaranteed to be awarded a scholarship. There are no quotas for scholarships for any individual country. Candidates nominated by national nominating agencies are in competition with those nominated by other nominating bodies, and the same standards will be applied to applications made through either channel.

The CSC will not accept supporting documentation submitted by nominating agencies or outside the online application system.

The application deadline for this scholarship is 18th October 2022.
