Two scholarships are being once again offered to PhD students; one based in the UK and one based elsewhere in the Commonwealth, to support Commonwealth-related research.  

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020-2021, this studentship will support the successful applicant to carry out research in their home country.  

The two awards carry equal value, that of £5,500 each. 

The closing date for applications is 31 July. Winners will be announced in September 2020, and the take-up of awards is from 1 November 2020 to July 2021.  

The studentships are funded by The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs and the journal’s publisher, Routledge, in association with the ACU.
