    Mam Do we also need to submit the application multiple times through CSC online portal as we apply for each different program and university? Or we need to fill the CSC online portal only once, and need to apply multiple times through universities websites?

    • @kendrajumbo
      @kendrajumbo  2 місяці тому

      For every university you apply to, you will apply for it under CSC so that means multiple CSC applications.
      If you are applying to 7 schools, you’ll make 7 CSC applications as well.

    If a course is under a theme but you want to focus on another CSC theme, with that same course (because it cuts across various themes), can I still apply to that and instead focus on the theme I want?

    • @kendrajumbo
      @kendrajumbo  2 місяці тому

      Your application should try to be as specific to the course you’re applying to as possible.
      This is why your essays should be rewritten or tweaked every time as least to a great extent. Don’t use the same essay to apply to all courses.

    I have applied for the scholarship before the deadline and then applied in 2 universities ( University of Stirling, University of Kent ) and got offer letter from both university.

      This Particular Commonwealth Scholarship Is Called "SHARED" Because The Cost of The Scholarship Is Shared By The University You Apply To And The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC).
      So All Applicants For A Particular Programme At Any University (For Example, MSc Economics at The University of Warwick) Will Be Evaluated By The University (In This Case, The University of Warwick) And The "BEST" Applicants/Candidates Will Then Be "NOMINATED" And Sent To The CSC For Them To Award The Scholarship.
      Depending On The Number of Scholarships Available For That Particular Programme, You May Be Nominated "DIRECTLY" Or Placed On The "RESERVE LIST" So If Those/The One Nominated (Selected) Directly Doesn't Take Up The Scholarship, Then It Will Be Passed On To You (The One On The Reserve List).
      I Hope I Have Answered Your Question.

You must beat both CSC and university deadline to win. Many people do not understand this scholarship quite well, even those who have won it before.
