Commonwealth scholarships are the most comprehensive scholarship for students desiring to study abroad. The scholarship offers more coverage of expenses as compared to any other scheme provided by any other organization. Let’s brief each one separately.
- Economy class airfare is provided to the students twice. Once, at the time of joining and last when the student returns home after completing the course. However, the airfare is not for traveling back home in between. Furthermore, the airfare is not for any dependent accompanying the applicant.
- The scholarship covers the tuition fee (the biggest expense for a student desiring to study in the UK). Furthermore, it also covers the examination fee, warding off any financial burden. In fact, all study-related expenses like the grant of Thesis or dissertation, costing a substantial amount, are taken care of in the scholarship scheme.
- Monthly allowances are also taken care of in this scholarship.
- Allowance for woolen clothes is given to students during the winter season as they might not be accustomed to the temperature there.
- The scholarship also covers traveling within the UK and also overseas for some research or any academic purpose.
