The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission's Professional Fellowship Scheme is no longer accepting applications for the main round of Fellowships in 2010. However, a supplementary round of Fellowships in 2010 for specific organisations is currently open and further information on this can be obtained by e-mailing professional.fellowships@cscuk.org.uk The details of the Scheme remain the same as those set out below, but the closing date is the 17 September 2010.
The Commission supports fellowships for mid-career professionals from developing Commonwealth countries to spend periods (typically three months) with a relevant UK host organisation in their field for a programme of professional development. This can include a very limited time for attendance at short courses as well as visits to other organisations. Applications should be made by the UK host organisation which acts as the 'nominator', and which can be from any sector. Nominators should be able to identify suitable candidates through existing organisational networks or by advertising if they wish. Organisations were able to nominate up to four individual candidates for a Fellowship in 2010.
Applications were invited in the following priority areas: Agriculture/Fisheries/Forestry, Education, Environment, Governance, Public Health and Engineering/Science/Technology. Professional Fellowships are not for academic study or research and full-time academics are not eligible for a Fellowship.
