Eligibility
Citizens (or those who hold refugee status) in a Commonwealth country are welcome to apply.
Applicants must apply for a QECS award in a country other than their home country/country of citizenship.
There is no upper age limit to be eligible for a QECS Award.
QECS awards are only for new students and cannot be used to fund a course that has already been started.
The current hosts of the QECS awards are only those listed on the website. If a country/university is not on the website, it means that they are not a host for the current cycle of awards. In some cases this may be due to the timing of the application cycle, for example some institutions have an academic year starting in January/February therefore they would be included in the second cycle of awards. Please keep an eye on the website for more details on those institutions/countries that will be included in the second application cycle.
As QECS awards can be held in a variety of Commonwealth Countries, you can submit more than one application as long as they are for different host countries/universities. However if you submit two applications for one host country/university only the first application submitted will be considered.
