Commonwealth Scholarships tenable in the United Kingdom 2021

Guidelines and Declaration for nomination: University of Nigeria

The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC) has invited the University of Nigeria to nominate 2 candidates for consideration by the CSC for Commonwealth PhD Scholarships tenable from September/October 2021. Full details of the scholarships are contained in the 2021 Terms and Conditions which are available on the website: cscuk.fcdo.gov.uk/about-us/scholarships

Applications are open only to persons who hold full-time teaching position in the University.

Selection Criteria

The CSC will make the final selection of candidates. The CSC seeks candidates of the highest academic quality who demonstrate a real capacity to make a difference to their home country on completion of their award. The CSC’s selection committee will grade applications on the following criteria:

 Academic merit of the candidate

 Quality of the study plan

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

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.

Details of the CSC’s selection criteria are enclosed and are available at:

cscuk.fcdo.gov.uk/about-us/scholarships

Applicants are, particularly, to take note of the following:

 All candidates must demonstrate in their application the direct and applied relevance of their study to development in their home country. Candidates should make any such links explicit in their applications.

 Commonwealth Scholarships are aimed at individuals who could not otherwise afford to study in the UK. Every candidate will be required to sign a declaration that they do not have access to sufficient funds to study in the UK and no candidate with the independent means to study in the UK should be nominated to the CSC.

 Candidates will be asked to supply a personal statement within their application which will provide the selection panel with more information about their background and give an additional context to their application. It will be taken into account by the selection panel but will not be graded.

Application timeline and procedure

Applications opened on the 14th December 2020. All interested candidates must apply to the CSC’s online application system by 18th January 2021. Any candidate who has not submitted an application by this date cannot be considered for a scholarship.

The CSC has a deadline of 1st February 2021 for receipt of all required supporting documentation:

NIGERIA AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT: 60 YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE

Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Science and Technology was created on 1 January 1980, with the vision of making “Nigeria one of the acknowledged leaders of the scientifically and technologically developed nations of the world”. Sixty years after independence, and forty years after the Science and Technology Ministry was created, Nigeria is neither a regional nor global technological power. Despite the advancements recorded in the country during the Civil War years (1967–1970), Nigeria remains a largely import economy, now dependent on countries that were once rated on the same pedestal or below her. That Nigerians in diaspora continue to make globally acknowledged strides in diverse fields of endeavour (including science and technology) presents the Nigerian state with an irony that consistently stares her in the face. The African Humanities Research and Development Circle (AHRDC) and Professor B. I. C. Ijomah Centre for Policy Studies and Research at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, therefore, announce their second international and interdisciplinary conference to engage with different aspects of this very important theme. The goal of the conference is to provide scholars and other participants with a platform to critically discuss the prospects and challenges of technological advancement in Nigeria. Technology is at the heart of the fourth industrial revolution. It is hoped that this conference will chart the way forward for science and technological development in Nigeria.
